Hello, I'm new to Elasticsearch. I went ahead and followed through the [quick start guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.2/targz.html) and I am having some trouble getting kibana to work and load the starting dashboard.

Here are some outputs from terminal for reference.  
I basically ran ./bin/Elasticsearch in one terminal and ./bin/kibana in another, right after it was downloaded from elastic download page.

```auto
./bin/elasticsearch

```

```auto
./bin/kibana

```

Following picture shows the error message when trying with the token that was provided when starting Elasticsearch instance.

Another thing is that after running first ./bin/Elasticsearch,  
`./bin/elasticsearch-users list`  
Outputs: No users found (not even elastic superuser)

`./bin/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token -s kibana`  
Outputs: ERROR: Failed to determine the health of the cluster.

Anyways, please help. I really am not sure what I am missing.  
Thank you.

Okay, I think I found the issue. It is resolved now. It was tunnelblick vpn from work that messed up the initial setup.

Welcome to our community! 😃  
In future please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂
