Hi, I have installed on Ubuntu 14.04.4. I've configured Kibana 4.4.1 to work with Elastic Search and installed: Marvel, Sense and TimeLion. How do I upgrade from Kibana 4.4.1 to 4.5? Many thanks. ---

How did you install 4.4.1? If you used a repo then just use the relevant system tools to upgrade. Otherwise unzip 4.5 the tar.gz/zip and use that. ---

To install I did: sudo apt-get -y install kibana I edited my kibana.yml and installed various plugins (TimeLion, AppSense) and I don't want them to be dropped. I also installed a license certificate. I'm a repo newbie - how do I upgrade without losing all my current config? To be safe I want to backup my config files. Where are they located? Many thanks. ---

sudo apt-get -y install kibana - forgive my stupid question - I type this again to start the upgrade? ---

This upgrade has the following problems 1. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6730](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6730) 2. Requires ES 2.3 3. Requires Marvel 2.3.2 I recommend users to image their system before upgrading. ---
