Hi Elastic team,  
I am evaluating Elasticsearch-ui for work.  
I am not able to run elastic “search-ui” @ [search-ui/examples/elasticsearch at master · elastic/search-ui · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/search-ui/tree/master/examples/elasticsearch)

1. iMac
2. Elasticsearch running at localhost:9200
3. “national-parks” Index is created and displays 59 documents at cabana devtools
4. npm install at …/examples/Elasticsearch
5. ELASTICSEARCH\_HOST=https://elastic:xxxxxx@localhost:9200 npm start
6. On localhost:3000 — only search bar is coming , on clicking search button ( blank or with search word) —\> it returns :: An unexpected error occurred: Unexpected token A in JSON at position 0
