Do you have any plugins installed which could be causing this? Can you re-try downloading from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana?

Have no plugin installed...
I'm installing using the latest download file cause I'm using a script to deploy.

The script:

#!/bin/bash

set -e
version=6.4.2
TEMP_DIR=/opt
KIBANA_INSTALL=${TEMP_DIR}/kibana
download_url=https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-$version-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
elk_user=elk

wget $download_url
sudo tar -xzvf kibana-$version-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C $TEMP_DIR

sudo mv $KIBANA_INSTALL-$version* $KIBANA_INSTALL 

cd $KIBANA_INSTALL

elastic_url=http://127.0.0.1:9200

sudo mkdir $KIBANA_INSTALL/logs

sudo touch $KIBANA_INSTALL/logs/kibana.log

sudo chown -R $elk_user:$elk_user $KIBANA_INSTALL

echo -e "$(sudo cat $KIBANA_INSTALL/config/kibana.yml)\nelasticsearch.url: '${elastic_url}'\nlogging.verbose: true" | sudo tee $KIBANA_INSTALL/config/kibana.yml
