Hallo, im stuck at the [tutorial](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html) to load demo data, maybe someone of you can help me to continue: I try this line in console (Kibana): `curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/account/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @accounts.json` and i get: { "statusCode": 400, "error": "Bad Request", "message": "child "method" fails because ["method" must be one of [HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE]]", "validation": { "source": "query", "keys": [ "method" ] } } Can anyone tell me whats wrong? ES is installed on a Mac with Sierra, all works fine at installation. I got no error message at installing Kibana and Elasticsearch. Thank you Rico ---

> [@Rico30](#): > > curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' I think there is a typo there, shouldn't it be just `application/json`? ---

Hi Mark, i tried it with your proposal, but the error message is the same. I tried the tutorial, so i assume there are no typo in this tutorial. Maybe my installation is wrong? Sorry for my late answer, i was ill. Thank you Rico ---

Hallo again, If i try in browser [http://localhost:9200/bank](http://localhost:9200/bank) i get `{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"index_not_found_exception",‌​"reason":"no such index","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"bank"‌​,"index_uuid":"_na_"‌​,"index":"bank"}],"t‌​ype":"index_not_foun‌​d_exception","reason‌​":"no such index","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"bank"‌​,"index_uuid":"_na_"‌​,"index":"bank"},"st‌​atus":404}` I defined `log stash-*`as default index pattern. Did i miss something to do? Thanks Rico ---

If you actually have a space there that would be why. ---

No, no space there. I defined `logstash-*` as index. ---

You're trying to load `http://localhost:9200/bank` but that doesn't exist as the cat output shows. Have you followed [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-define-index.html) and [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-discovering.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-discovering.html)? ---

Of course not, because im stuck in the chapter before. Normally it makes no sense to continue a tutorial if a step won't work. Especially not in the beginning. I tried now to define the index for `shakes*` and it works. To create a second index for `ba*` won't work. What tells you in result of cat that i can't expect a result of `.../bank`? ---

No, there is the same Problem. ---

Ahh ok. I just ran the shakespeare import on 5.4.0 and it worked fine. Can you post the entire command you are running, with the output. Make sure to include your shell prompt as well. ---
