_NodeJS 8.11.4_, _[https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git](https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git)_, _tag v6.4.2_

I follow [the contribution guide](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-code) and do

```auto
git clone https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git
cd kibana
git checkout v6.4.2
yarn kbn bootstrap

```

and get

```auto
yarn run v1.9.4
$ node scripts/kbn bootstrap
Running [bootstrap] command from [/media/trex/safe1/Development/siren/kibana_6_4]:

[bootstrap] failed:

CliError: [test_plugin] depends on [@elastic/eslint-config-kibana] using
'link:', but the path is wrong. Update its package.json to the expected value
below.

Additional debugging info:

   expected: "@elastic/eslint-config-kibana": "link:../../kibana_6_4/packages/eslint-config-kibana"

error Command failed with exit code 1.

```

Also, I tried to clean all this `yarn kbn clean` and got the same error.

I tried it before and it worked. Why doesn't it work now? How to fix it?

Strange, I deleted everything inside `node_modules` and `optimize/bundles` and got the same error. But now it works after I deleted `kibana` folder and cloned it again. Why?

New problem related to the [contribution guide](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-kibana-in-open-source-mode), now I can't run ES

Hello,

You could try doing an `rm -rf ./node_modules` in your `.es` directory. After that, do a `yarn install` in the .`./es` directory. When it's finished, try running the snapshot again.

I'm not sure what's causing the specific issue in your case but this may clear it up!
