I am installing beats through the documentation on gitlab kali purple documentation wiki beats dependencies, everything is working well till the installation of filebeat, as mentioned in the documentation after the make install command it should open an installation prompt but it did not, I carried on with the work and configured filebeat.yml as described.

I am getting this error after filebeat modules list command

```auto

Already up to date.

Based on what I've seen, a guy solved the issue by "downgrading" to a 8.5.3 version. How to do that?
