Error installing elasticsearch-http-user-auth-5.1.2.zip on Elasticsearch-5.1.2

[dumakant]

I installed Elasticsearch 5.1.2 using the elasticsearch-5.1.2.tar.gz.
Then I tried installing the plugin on this instance using the following command -
./elasticsearch-plugin install file:///scratch/dumakant/downloads/elasticsearch-http-user-auth-5.1.2.zip

But was seeing following error -

-> Downloading file:///scratch/dumakant/downloads/elasticsearch-http-user-auth-5.1.2.zip
[=================================================] 100%  
ERROR: elasticsearch directory is missing in the plugin zip

Seeing the same error. Is ES 5.X supported ?
