Hi all !  
Hope you are all well !

I wanted to start using kibana so yesterday I've downloaded .zip file of kibana and while trying to run `bin\kibana.bat`, I got this message `Cannot find module './persistence_google_workspace_api_access_granted_via_domain_wide_delegation_of_authority.json'`.

I understand that somthing is missing but I don't know why... and how to solve it. ☹

I am on Windows 10 and I had Elasticsearch running on my localhost during that test.

Anyone has an idea ? 😉

Kind regards,  
Baptiste Zloch

Welcome to our community! 😃  
What version of Kibana and how did you install it?

Thanks a lot !!  
I installed it by downloading the windows .zip from [here](https://www.elastic.co/fr/downloads/kibana).  
And once unzipped I ran `elasticsearch.bat` and in another terminal I ran `kibana.bat` (from the unziped folder) and I get the message from my previous post...

kind regards,
