Hey @radi, is there a specific step in the [Contributing Guide](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) that doesn't work on Windows? Also, you shouldn't need to normally build Kibana from source but should be able to download an already built version from [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases) ---

Hey @radi, [https://www.elastic.co/downloads](https://www.elastic.co/downloads) you can download the .zip for windows from the above link and in this steps also given how to start the ELK Stack in windows. Regards, Krunal. ---

hi, @Krunal_kalaria@Brandon_Kobel Thank's for your replay but i already download zip and run it in windows and it's work fine for me but what i want it's the procedure to build project after modification in code ( I want add new plugin developping visulaization ) it's why i need to build source code in windows Regards, radi ---

@radi the [Contributing Guide](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) has that information, if a specific step doesn't work with Windows please let me know and I can open up an issue to correct it. ---

@Brandon_Kobel That part it's not clear !, On Windows, you'll need you use Git Bash, Cygwin, or a similar shell that exposes the sh command. And to successfully build you'll need Cygwin optional packages zip, tar, and shasum. in windows 10 i add Bash Ubuntu in Windows but i don't see Kibana folder when i add it in file /home/test i anlay have . .. .bash\_history .bash\_logout .bashrc .cache .profile how can i acces to kibana directory !!? ---

Kibana 5.4 is still using `npm` as opposed to `yarn`. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/5.4/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/5.4/CONTRIBUTING.md) should have the specific commands for 5.4 ---

@radio does /mnt/c/kibana-5.4.0-windows-x86 contain the Kibana source code? You shouldn't have to add anything to a package.json file to be able to run `npm start`. ---

@radi that package.json looks drastically different than the one in GitHub [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/5.4/package.json). How did you get the Kibana source code? ---
