 ## Running tests
 
-Running any tests requires access to an Elastic Search cluster for `mo_hg` on localhost:9201. This requires [Elastic Search version 6.2.4](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-6-2-4). To look at the Elastic Search cluster, you can use Elasticsearch-head, [found here](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head).

To look at the Elastic Search cluster, you can use Elasticsearch-head, [found here](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head). Steps to run the Elastic Search will differ based on the operating system, but for Windows we have to do the following:
+
+1. Install elasticsearch.
+1. Now, you might have to copy the contents of [elasticsearch-6.2.4.yml](https://github.com/mozilla/TUID/blob/dev/tests/travis/elasticsearch-6.2.4.yml) to `<ES-INSTALLATION>/config/elasticsearch`. The default config should work though.
+1. Open a command prompt and go to the `bin` folder in the elasticsearch installation.
+1. Run `elasticsearch.bat` to start the service - you should now be able to run the tests.
