Hi Sharmila,

I'm not an expert but had the same problem with Kibana-4.6.2 and solved it with the right kibana-plugin syntax which seems wrong in your post, if I'm not wrong too.
That's what I did on my PC:

---

C:\zApps\elastic.co\kibana\kibana-4.6.2-windows-x86> bin\kibana.bat plugin -i sense -u file://C:\zApps\elastic.co\kibana\kibana-4.6.2-windows-x86\downloadedPlugins\sense-2.0.0-beta7.tar.gz

As you may notice, I used "kibana plugin -i" (-i = install) command, not "kibana-plugin", pointing it to the downloaded file (notice the slashes/backslashes, half *nix half windows).
It worked for me, I hope it helps you too.
