Hey, could you attach the Kibana server logs? They will likely contain more information about what's going wrong here

Hi flash,

There is no error on Kibana server logs, it is front-end errors. I checked with release version, It worked well, but tag version [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/v6.8.0](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/v6.8.0), I got above error

Then the issue is probably in the way you build Kibana. Could you provide details about your environment (OS, version, ...) and how you are building Kibana (exact command and output)? Did you change the source code in any way?

Along those lines - why are you building Kibana yourself instead of using the release-bundle? If you want a pure open-source build, those are also provided: [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#kibana-oss](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#kibana-oss)

1. OS: Windows10
2. Elasticsearch [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-6-8-0](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases/elasticsearch-6-8-0)
3. Kibana [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/v6.8.0](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/v6.8.0)

Steps build kibana

1. start Elasticsearch  
D:\ES\elasticsearch-6.8.0\bin\> elasticsearch
2. build kibana  
D:\ES\kibana\>yarn install  
D:\ES\kibana\>git init  
D:\ES\kibana\>yarn kbn bootstrap  
D:\ES\kibana\>cd bin  
D:\ES\kibana\bin\>kibana  
below is my kibana console log

`bootstrap` is only setting up your environment for development or building, it's not actually building the front end bundle. If you are in a dev environment you can start the Kibana server with an in-memory build that's also watching for file changes via `yarn start`. For actually building check out the documentation in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages)

After these steps there will be a built version of Kibana in the `target` dir.

However it's recommended to use the provided packages if possible.

I got below error when I run **yarn start**

yarn run v1.21.1  
$ sh ./bin/kibana --dev  
'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

actually "yarn start" call kibana.bat, so I run kibana.bat

Could you try including the `--dev` flag? `D:\ES\kibana\bin>kibana --dev`

I see, this makes sense. In the `CONTRIBUTING.md` it says you have to use cygwin or another shell: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-kibana)

> On Windows, you'll need to use Git Bash, Cygwin, or a similar shell that exposes the `sh` command. And to successfully build you'll need Cygwin optional packages zip, tar, and shasum.

Seems like it's not supported to start the development server with the default cmd utility on windows.
