Took Kibana code from the git repo. When installing, I am getting an error "unable to find usable node.js executable". I am working in Mac OS 10.13.  
I could see the node version mentioned in code as 10.19, but still giving me same error.. I tried with node versions 10.18, 10.19 and latest node version..  
can you please help be identify the issue...

Hi, Roshan. It looks like you try to run Kibana via `./bin/kibana` which meant to be used for a distributable version. There is a manual how to run Kibana locally from the sources:
