Hi,  
I am trying to install plugin on centos 7.x in kibana 7.12.0 by command  
`sudo bin/kibana-plugin install file:///home/mykibanaplugin/ai_analyst-7.12.0.zip`

It is giving error  
`Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"`

Thanks in advance.

@vikramdayma what is the content of `/home/mykibanaplugin/ai_analyst-7.12.0.zip` when unzipped? Have you tried to do the process manually? unzip the content of that archive into `$KIBANA_ROOT_FOLDER/plugins/ai_analyst`? (Note: when trying to do this manully, please make sure the plugin file contents are at `$KIBANA_ROOT_FOLDER/plugins/ai_analyst` and not in any other extra folder like `$KIBANA_ROOT_FOLDER/plugins/ai_analyst/extra_folder/index.js...` )

Cheers

hi tiagocosta,  
Thanks for reply.  
I am installing it on centos machine.  
So first I download in on my local windows machine and than upload in a directory on centos machine(file path `/home/mykibanaplugin/ai_analyst-7.12.0.zip`).  
I checked it by unzipping in my local windows machine ai\_analyst-7.12.0.zip.  
I got these directories. `ai_analyst-7.12.0\kibana\ai_analyst` and in the `ai_analyst` directory have some file.  
As shown in blow screenshot, it is taken from my PC:

I want to install this plugin on centos machine.  
I think `$KIBANA_ROOT_FOLDER` on centos is `/usr/share/kibana`.  
Should I directly unzip in `/usr/share/kibana/plugins`.

Hi @vikramdayma,

Could we try to manually copy the content of `ai_analyst-7.12.0\kibana\ai_analyst` into `/usr/share/kibana/plugins/ai_analyst` and then restart Kibana?

Cheers
