Hi,

I would like to create new kibana 6.4 plugin in windows.

so I downloaded following files from respective releases pages.  
node-v8.11.4-x64.msi  
yarn-1.13.0.msi  
elasticsearch-6.4.0.zip  
kibana-6.4.0-windows-x86\_64.zip

I am able to see kibana page without any issues at [http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/home?\_g=()](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/home?_g=())  
after running  
./bin/elasticsearch.bat  
./bin/kibana.bat

Now I would like to set up my develop environment from following link:

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/6.4/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment>

//my commands  
\<  
cd kibana yarn kbn bootstrap  
yarn run v1.13.0  
warning package.json: License should be a valid SPDX license expression  
error Command "kbn" not found.  
info Visit [https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run) for documentation about this comm  
and.  
/\>

According to link [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/6.4/packages/kbn-plugin-generator](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/6.4/packages/kbn-plugin-generator), to create plugin, "yarn kbn bootstrap" should work properly.

According to

> I @jbudz I used kibana 6.3.2,and i don't use git clone to download Kibana,i download kibana from the location of the screenshot below: I understand what you mean,i used installation package,i need use git clone to config development environment.It will automatically support the kba command.Is that right?if i want to use kibana 6.3.2.How should I use git clone?Thanks.

the work around for this issue will be get kibana from github instead of release pages.

git clone [git@github.com](mailto:git@github.com):elastic/kibana.git  
cd kibana  
git fetch origin  
git checkout v6.4.0  
yarn kbn bootstrap
