Hi,

Is it possible to specify only one OS and/or only archive in the command "npm run build" ?  
We work with Kibana 5.3.

Ex `npm run build -- --os=linux-x86_64 --only-archive`

Thanks

Hi Sébastien,

I think you want to use `--skip-os-packages` and that should only create the tar.gz and zip.

I think that's as granular as the build parameters go. That `--skip-os-packages` makes it skip the .deb and .rpm packages.

If you wanted to only build a single package you might have to modify `tasks\config\platforms.js` (I'm on master so it might not be the same as 5.3)

You could file an issue to request parameters for individual build outputs, or if you figure out what to change you could submit a pull request to add the option. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana)
