Isn't Marvel available for the Release Candidate? We like to use and test the 2.0 Release Candidate, but without Marvel we will wait ... ``` > plugin install elasticsearch/marvel/latest -v -> Installing elasticsearch/marvel/latest...

If you are not using elasticsearch 2.0.0, that's expected. Note that installing marvel is now different. Read the marvel doc. ---

So you did not read the docs, did you? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html) ---

Your "current" elasticsearch doc install is not up to date : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/\_installing\_elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_installing_elasticsearch.html) ---

That's the Definitive Guide, not the official product docs. That said we know there are some discrepancies and we're working on fixing those soon 😃 ---

I operate according to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html) but there is no kibana under bin files . (bin/kibana plugin --install marvel --url file:///path/to/file/marvel-2.3.5.tar.gz ) what should I do? ---

why the "Getting Started of Installing Marvel on Offline Machines " don't say I should install Kibana first? ---

Well.[In the link you provided](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html#marvel-prequisites), it's said > ## Marvel Installation Prerequisites > > Marvel 2.3.5 requires: > > - Java 7 or later > - Elasticsearch 2.3.5 > - Kibana 4.5.3 I guess it's pretty much obvious, no? ---
