@aniketdatir could you please list here what was causing your problem so it can be used for future reference and mark it as the solution?

Hi @tiagocosta ,

as the error suggest above, it was searching kibana.yml inside config folder but this folder was not present.

So, i created folder named config inside ''/usr/share/kibana/' and copied the kibana.yml file inside it.
Then using root user I run the above command and generated encryption key.
