Hi all,  
I try to install and configure ELK Stack for the first time. The installation was made with the official site instruction on OpenSuse OS, but probably somethig goes wrong.

When I try to start my Kibana istance I receive this error 🙂

Can you check to see if `/usr/share/kibana/src/cli` exists and is not empty? It's possible that your unzip didn't complete before further operations.

Hi, could yu explain me what mean this message? I receive it when I try to connect to [http://myhost:5601](http://myhost:5601)

It appears you're running the oss-only distribution of Elasticsearch.

To use the full set of free features in this distribution of Kibana, please update Elasticsearch to the [default distribution](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch).
