Hi All, I am following the instructions found at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) running Kibana locally and building release packages on Windows. I am able to run kibana locally on windows machine based on the info found in the contributing guide and info obtained from discussions in [How can build Kibana 4.2 on windows Machine?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-can-build-kibana-4-2-on-windows-machine/29139/10). However i couldn't get any info about how to build Kibana 5.6.4 version onwards on Windows machine. Can you guys please provide some info on this. @Meenal.Luktuke @LeeDr @alvarezdaniel ( Tagging as you guys seem to have tried building Kibana on Windows) ---

@Brandon_Kobel thanks for your reply. I am referring this document [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages) , so far i am able to run Kibana locally but how to build distribution packages What are the equivalent commands for windows OS apt-get install ruby-dev rpm gem install fpm -v 1.5.0 yarn build --skip-archives yarn build --rpm ---

@SKumarMN building the specific OS packages is always run in a Linux environment, I'd suggest using Vagrant and the following box to perform this: [https://app.vagrantup.com/elastic/boxes/ubuntu-16.04-x86\_64](https://app.vagrantup.com/elastic/boxes/ubuntu-16.04-x86_64) ---
