I have installed ELK stack on the local machine by following the [https://www.elastic.co/start](https://www.elastic.co/start) link.  
according to the doc,

We start Kibana by **bin/kibana** and elastic search by **bin/elasticsearch** commands.

But this is started without the daemon. What are the best practices to make it run in the background?

Is using nohup a good option?

Hi there,  
nohup is just a shortcut. I would recommend you not to use it . Use an init script, systemd, Upstart, or whatever your operating system recommends. bin/kibana is just a bash script that started up the node process, so it'll show up in your process list as node.

@rashmi  
Does it work with installations from TAR files?
