I'm trying to run Kibana v6.2.4 from source.

I downloaded the rpm file and updated the kibana.yml file to point to the correct ES cluster but it keeps throwing the same error.

I'm using ES v6.2.4, Kibana v6.2.4 on centOS 7.4

Can you try a `yarn kbn clean` and a `yarn kbn bootstrap` before starting Kibana from source?

Hi Marius, yarn is throwing an error  
`kbn` command not found.

How do I install `kbn`? I already tried `$ npm i kbn` within kibana root directory.
