I tried to install this plugin : [GitHub - elastic/generator-kibana-plugin: DEPRECATED Yeoman Generator for Kibana Plugins, please use https://github.com/elastic/template-kibana-plugin/](https://github.com/elastic/generator-kibana-plugin) as a kick-starter to learn how develop plugins with kibana in general. I followed the steps but got an error running it from the plugin folder. I tried "both npm start" and "npm start -- --no-ssl" But I get this error on console : sana@sana:~/my-new-plugin$ npm start -- --no-ssl > my\_new\_plugin@0.0.0 start /home/sana/my-new-plugin > plugin-helpers start "--no-ssl" watching for changes (377 files) log [11:45:18.662] [info][listening] basePath Proxy running at [http://localhost:5601/czi](http://localhost:5601/czi) optmzr log [11:45:21.559] [info][status][ui settings] Status changed from uninitialized to disabled - uiSettings.enabled config is set to `false` server log [11:45:21.772] [info][optimize] Waiting for optimizer completion optmzr log [11:45:21.807] [info][optimize] Lazy optimization of bundles for my\_new\_plugin, kibana, stateSessionStorageRedirect, timelion, sense-tests and status\_page ready optmzr log [11:45:21.826] [info][optimize] Lazy optimization started optmzr log [11:45:21.842] [info] Plugin initialization disabled. server log [11:45:21.885] [info][status][plugin:kibana@6.0.0-alpha2] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready server log [11:45:21.965] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@6.0.0-alpha2] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch server log [11:45:21.983] [info][status][plugin:my\_new\_plugin@0.0.0] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready server log [11:45:21.997] [info][status][plugin:console@6.0.0-alpha2] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready server log [11:45:22.002] [warning] You're running Kibana 6.0.0-alpha2 with some different versions of Elasticsearch.

That plugin generator is out-of-date right now, as we're working on refactoring the whole plugin development. This is the PR and after it's merged in, it's going to make development of plugins a lot easier: > ---

Heyy Marius\_Dragomir, thank you for your quick answer. Can you recommend resources that are not out of date for developing plug-ins for kibana? Thank you a lot! ---
