I've installed Elasticsearch 7.3 on a Ubuntu box with Kibana. Each time I run elastic I get this error, "[elasticsearch.version] is missing for plugin [head]". I had the same error for KOPF which lead down a rabbit hole of research stating use HEAD. I've been at this for days. I've tried installing plugins, and running command "./elasticsearch-plugin install elasticsearch-head" fails. If I'm to rely on Kibana as new version of elasticsearch don't need KOPF or HEAD, how do I remove the warnings or get past this.

Head and Kopf were site plugins, and support for that type of plugins were removed in version 5.0. If they have been updated to work with Elasticsearch 7.x, you have to run them as a separate component outside Elasticsearch. Kibana should however contain most functionality they covered if you enable monitoring.
Ah thanks. I moved both HEAD and KOPF from the plugin folder and it appears that I can start Elastic without that specific error. Now once I navigate to the specified url after authenticating in kibana I have a message where the dashboard should be that states "Kibana server is not ready yet". Thoughts?
Made a bit more progress after researching the last error. Now I'm presented with the following below.... Thoughts?
