I am using kibana 7.6.2. I followed this guide([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment)) to create the build from the kibana source code. Build was successful and I can see tar files in the target folder also. But when I tried to install the generated kibana tar and open the kibana page, I am getting the error - "Kibana did not load properly. Check the server output for more information." I tried to debug the issue. Then I came to know .., there is folder called built\_assets/dlls is empty in the generated kibana tar file. But when I download the tar from the kibana release page and unzipped it . There I can see dlls folder and many files in it. Am I doing anything wrong in my build process. Please advise. Steps I followe to build: 1. Downloaded the source code 2. yarn kbn bootstrap 3. yarn build --skip-os-packages ---

If you're trying to build the project from source to then install and use, use `node script/build.js --release` to generate a build. If you're trying to look around in the Kibana source, try `yarn es snapshot` to run elasticsearch locally and then in a new terminal window `yarn start` to start the Kibana server. ---
