This doc states you need a tool called opensearch-plugin, but doesn't state where you get or find that tool. I can see that it's in the bin directory, but the bin directory of what?

Do we need to be able to open up a shell inside the instance where Opensearch is running? Then how do I do that on AWS Opensearch Service? I don't see any way to connect to my domain inside the command line.

This makes plugins essentially unusable or unmanageable - the tool needed cannot be found or used.

*Version:

All versions of the documentation omit where to find this tool.

What other resources are available?

I have asked on Stack Overflow to learn if I'm missing something.

@tyrannosaurus-becks: "Tool" might be misleading. Its more of a feature or a command used to install OpenSearch plugins, packed in with OpenSearch. What plugin are you trying to install? Have you tried this syntax bin/opensearch-plugin install <plugin-name>?

Thanks @Naarcha-AWS ! I now see the command is present inside Opensearch containers. What I'm missing is how I would gain access to the command on AWS Opensearch Service where my domain doesn't appear to be reachable via the command line? Or am I missing something?

Are you running Serverless? If so, plugins are prepackaged. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/serverless-genref.html.

This is what I needed! Thank you so much, @Naarcha-AWS !
