Hi,

I try to learn how to make my own plugin and follow the tutorial:

> **[Writing Kibana Plugins – Custom applications](https://www.timroes.de/writing-kibana-plugins-custom-applications)**
>
> This tutorial series explains how to create own Kibana plugins. This part explains
> how to create a custom application plugin.

I have done come modifications (changed to lowercase) to be able to build and install the plugin.  
Installation looks successful but when I start kibana from my web browser I see the following:

I can't figure outh what more I need to change to make it work.  
I am testing on Kibana 6.0.0.

This is the line it complain about (in file kibana.bundle.js):  
330486 **webpack\_require** (1494).register(TagcloudProvider);

I have tried to change to git branch 5.4 but can not start Elasticsearch nor Kibana on this branch.  
Can someone give me a hint?

Why don't you try using the [Kibana Plugin Generator](https://github.com/elastic/generator-kibana-plugin) as your starting point? That should at least get you up and running with a very basic, but valid plugin shell, and you can expand from there.

Hi,

That is exactly what I have done.  
I created successful a plugin showing time.  
When I tried to expand with the info from the tutorial I fail to start Kibana.  
Therefore I would appreciate information about how to avoid the **web\_pack** require problem.
