I have installed elasticstack 6.2.4 on a single server. I was able to send data to elasticsearch and also got index created. I wanted to integrate this setup with x-pack for ML and monitoring purpose. Was able to install and configure x-pack for elasticsearch. But when i installed x-pack for kibana it started throwing below error after service restart

```auto
Uncaught Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: sessionTimeoutProvider <- sessionTimeout <- $http <- config kibana

```

This error comes when i open kibana URL on the browser. Then i following this link([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9369](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9369)) and deleted optimize folder from /usr/share/kibana now i am getting below error on the broswer

`Kibana did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.`

and below error on the logs of kibana

```auto
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/share/kibana/optimize/.babelcache.json'

```

I granted permission but didnt help bringing the node up. Please help me with this.

Do i need to enable something with respect to x-pack before bringing up kibana?

I was able to solve this by removing previous kibana installation completely and installed it again. Then before starting the service i installed x-pack for kibana using `kibana-plugin install` . Now when i started kibana i got the kibana dashboard with x-pack installed and i didnt eved needed to remove optimize files.
