I downloaded Kibana 7.12.0, and now I want to build it, but it is not generating a build folder. Any ideas?

Hello,

You need to download our repo and build it from source. Here is our developer guide - [Developer guide | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development.html)

Thanks,  
Bhavya
