License information could not be obtained from Elasticsearch due to [security_exception] unable to authenticate user [kibana_system]

I'm trying to learn to install elasticsearch, but I'm getting the error 'License information could not be obtained from Elasticsearch due to [security_exception] unable to authenticate user [kibana_system]'

I've done the steps in Readme, is there anything missing from the steps?
