Hi there, is this a third-party plugin? If so then you'll need to ask the plugin authors for help.
Thanks,

Hi CJ,
This is not a third party tool. I found this from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/known-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/known-plugins.html)
I am not sure how a Zip file can be installed correctly on Ubuntu.
Thanks

Hi, I'm sorry but this is a third-party plugin which we just linked to. I recommend you visit their [GitHub project](https://github.com/nyurik/kibana-vega-vis) and create a new Issue there. I hope you're able to find an answer!
Thanks,
CJ

Hi,
I am getting the following error now,
```
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Optimizations failure.

@amruth not sure if you have solved the issue. See [quick start](https://github.com/nyurik/kibana-vega-vis#quick-demo) on how to install and use Vega plugin. Make sure the version of the downloaded file from [releases page](https://github.com/nyurik/kibana-vega-vis/releases) matches your Kibana version. Use the `bin/kibana-plugin installl file:///path/to/plugin.zip` as suggested by @tatdat.
