Hi,

I'm new in Elastic world.  
I installed Kibana and Elasticsearch (both version 6.3) and I followed this steps in the official [site](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.3/getting-started.html). I made my dashboard and everything is okay.  
Now, I am trying to create my own plugin (visualization). I did a lot of search and I found this two links ([link1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBWNrdjDa2U) and [link2](https://www.timroes.de/2015/12/02/writing-kibana-4-plugins-simple-visualizations/) **they are so useful for beginners** ). I would like to develope something (plugin) like the first link, so I tried to install it (kibana-sample-plugin which is developed with 5.4.3 version) in my Kibana instance using **_kibana-plugin install file:///C:\kibana-sample-plugin.zip_** but it didn't work (There is versions problems I know). So I tried to install another [plugin](https://github.com/dlumbrer/kbn_radar/tree/6-dev) which is 6.3 version (like my installed instance), my dashboard doesn't work anymore but I can access to my kibana UI.

My first question: is there a link which I can follow it to create my first plugin (visualization like 'Hello world U\_U' for example) on 6.3 version?  
My second question: Why the installation doesn't work for me ? (even I followed the same steps in the link)

I'll appreciate any help ^^.

Hello,

For 6.3.0 and onwards Kibana includes this very easy to use plugin template generator:

> **[elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/packages/kbn-plugin-generator)**
>
> kibana - :bar\_chart: Kibana analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch

You can follow this easily and create your first plugin from it.
