Hi All,
Can you please help me on how to install the timelion plugin on Kibana.
I'm getting the following error when trying to install the latest timelion :
> bin/kibana-plugin install file:///home/nypntsrv/InstallationsBackup/timelion-latest.tar.gz
> Attempting to transfer from file:///home/nypntsrv/InstallationsBackup/timelion-latest.tar.gz
> Transferring 3907633 bytes....................
> Transfer complete
> Retrieving metadata from plugin archive
> Error: Could not find the End of Central Directory Record
> Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Error retrieving metadata from plugin archive"
Thanks in advance,
Julian

Timelion ships with 5.0.0-beta1, no plugin install needed.
