Hi Guys,

I'm installing kibana-5.6.3 for our monitoring. I'm following the steps given on this site however, I experienced some problem when I about to install elasticsearch-5.6.3.

I already installed Java 8 on my system, but got this message after I ran this command: ./bin/elasticsearch

[root@kibana elasticsearch-5.6.3]# ./bin/elasticsearch
