Hey @jaytran, I'd recommend starting by looking at our contributor guide, particularly the section about configuring your development environment: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment) After you get Kibana up and running, you can run `node ./scripts/generate_plugin.js awesome-plugin` to generate the required boilerplate for a new plugin. ---

Thank you for your response. I generated kibana plugin, but I got an error related 'version' ![kibana-error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/a/7a5f8e2139b17b1f9a61dcf9007dcd39abcfba7e.png) I checked the version when I created my plugin is the same with version of kibana(8.0.0). As my understanding, latest version of kibana is 7.4.x, but I don't know the version at my machine is 8.0.0 please help ---

I found it easier to follow this tutorial when developing plugins: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-resources.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-resources.html) Also to get version 7.4 on your machine just pull the 7.4 Git IE: `git clone -b v7.4.0 https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git kibana` ---

above issue is resolved, problem is I checkout kibana-master, kibana-master is version 8, it is incompatible with ES7.x ---
