Can you try redownloading in case the download was broken and installing again? Before installing I would make sure the service is removed, and /opt/kibana is cleaned up. I did a quick install on my machine and on first glance it looks to be working.

Also, if you're interested, 4.5.3 was recently added to the [downloads page](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) with tilemap fixes.
