Error: Unable to install kibana-plugin

[Surendar_Niji]

Kibana and elasticsearch are installed same server but through linux 64-Bit.

Home path of kibana is /data/kibana

When i try to install a kibana-plugin it gives below error at the end

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Cannot delete files/directories outside the current working directory. Can be overridden with the force option."

Hi @Surendar_Niji, welcome to the discussion boards!

Can you post the exact command you ran, and provide the full console output? What directory did you run the command from? What version of Kibana are you using?

Thanks for the details, I appreciate it. The docs for installing plugins mention running the command from your${KIBANA_HOME} directory, rather than from ${KIBANA_HOME}/bin.

Do you get the same error if you run this from /data/kibana-7.6.1-linux-x86_64 instead of /data/kibana-7.6.1-linux-x86_64/bin?
