git clone [https://github.com/JuanCarniglia/kbn\_circles\_vis.git](https://github.com/JuanCarniglia/kbn_circles_vis.git)  
cd kbn\_circles\_vis  
npm install  
npm run build  
cp -R build/kbn\_circles\_vis/ KIBANA\_HOME/installedPlugins

i just copy kbn\_circles\_vis to installedplugins directory.but then kibana output would not display.
