I tried also

1939 sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///readonlyrest-1.14.1_es5.3.0.zip
1940 sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///.readonlyrest-1.14.1_es5.3.0.zip
1941 sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///./readonlyrest-1.14.1_es5.3.0.zip

Why?

Try giving an absolute file URL:

bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///path/to/readonlyrest

Iā€™m not sure whether relative ones are supported, the RFC describing the file scheme say the path is absolute.
