Hey, can you share what steps you've done so far to install Kibana? the npm package "kbn" isn't associated, the command is a link from the kbn-pm package in the packages folder.

The command should be available from a `git clone` without any additional changes.

I @jbudz  
I used kibana 6.3.2,and i don't use git clone to download Kibana,i download kibana from the location of the screenshot below:

I understand what you mean,i used installation package,i need use git clone to config development environment.It will automatically support the kba command.Is that right?if i want to use kibana 6.3.2.How should I use git clone?Thanks.

Yep you got it. Something like:

```auto
git clone git@github.com:elastic/kibana.git
cd kibana
git fetch origin
git checkout v6.3.2
yarn kbn bootstrap

```
