Hi all, I'm trying to run "build" command but it fails at pleaseRun task, this is error log:

Hi @valereds,

What operating system are you running that command on?

Thanks,

Hi @shaunak,  
I'm using Linux distro CentOS 7 .

Thanks. Building on CentOS should work.

There are a few (non-npm-controlled) dependencies needed to build OS packages for Kibana. They are listed over [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages). Could you double check that you have them all installed?

Also, in case you aren't interested in OS packages, you can run `npm run build -- --skip-os-packages`. That will only produce the `.tar.gz` and `.zip` builds.

Hope that helps,

Shaunak
