Hi Everyone,

As per the documentation : [Plugin tooling | Kibana Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.5/plugin-tooling.html)

Topic : Build plugin distributable  
To build your plugin run within your plugin folder:

yarn build

It will output a`zip` archive in kibana/plugins/my\_plugin\_name/build/ folder.

It is failing with below error :

Hi @Sunil_Jagtap. Have you tried running `yarn kbn bootstrap` before running `yarn build`? If that still doesn't work, try running `yarn kbn clean && yarn kbn bootstrap`. Then try `yarn build` again.

Exact same issue. And I did run yarn kbn bootstrap before yarn build.

The following instructions "work" in the sense that they (i.e. --skip-os-packages) disable the debian and distribution level packaging.

```fish
#!/usr/bin/env fish
nvm install (cat .nvmrc)
nvm use
corepack enable
yarn kbn bootstrap --force-install
node scripts/build --all-platforms --skip-os-packages

```

You may also do `yarn build --skip-os-packages` for the last line.

This error possibly appears because of missing dependencies such as `fpm`. Dunno.

Edit: This error is indeed due to missing `fpm`. To install `fpm`, do the following:

```console
gix clone https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm.git
cd fpm
bundle install
bundle exec gem build fpm.gemspec
gem install fpm-*.gem

```
