Coming from sense chrome plugin I want to start working with the Kibana console.  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/console-kibana.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/console-kibana.html)

This is all the documentation I get from the Kibana web site.  
There is no guide on how to install it.

Do I have to install kibana in order to work with the console to request from to ElasticSearch?  
Is there a way not to?  
( I only need to work with ES)

The console come by default with Kibana (OSS included). There is no way to just run the console as it is a part of Kibana.
