Hello!

I am trying to install the kibana enhanced table plugin but every time I try to install it I get the error

> -bash: /bin/kibana-plugin: No such file or directory

I have tried installing it directly from the URL and from the downloaded file and I am always getting the same error. Any thoughts about how to solve it?

Thank you in advance!

The installation assumes you have an environment variable named `$KIBANA_HOME` that points to your root kibana folder.

Either make sure that variable is set, or simply run the commands without it from inside the kibana folder. For example, instead of:  
`$KIBANA_HOME/bin/kibana-plugin install file:///path/to/enhanced-table-X.Y.Z_A.B.C.zip`  
run  
`cd (your kibana folder here)`  
`bin/kibana-plugin install file:///path/to/enhanced-table-X.Y.Z_A.B.C.zip`
