Hi folks,

I have some trouble to install X-Pack 5.2.0 for Kibana 5.2.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. & CentOS 7.2  
The following Error occurs when I try to install it:

./kibana-plugin install x-pack  
Attempting to transfer from x-pack  
Attempting to transfer from [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana-plugins/x-pack/x-pack-5.2.0.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana-plugins/x-pack/x-pack-5.2.0.zip)

**Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Error extracting plugin archive"**

The folder '.plugin.installing/node\_modules/react/lib/ReactCompositeComponent.js' doesn't exist  
after running the install command.

I've seen some issues for the windows platform in the forum but not for linux

Any idea how to solve this?

Thx in advance

Cheers

Are you running that command as root?

The command was executed as root and normal user. But the result was the same ;(
