We have been using Kibana 3 by downloading the web server drop-in package from [http://download.elasticsearch.org/kibana/kibana/kibana-latest.zip](http://download.elasticsearch.org/kibana/kibana/kibana-latest.zip). It is easy to deploy and configure.

Now we would like to upgrade to kibana 5 but could not find a web server drop-in package. Is it still an option for kibana 5?

Thanks!

Kibana 3 was a standalone web application simply had to be served. Kibana 4 and now Kibana 5 both run in node.js and no longer support the web server drop-in functionality.
