Elastic Stack Kibana

Hi,
We are having problem to install Kibana on Ubuntu 16.04 image which runs under OpenStack.
Elasticsearch 7.17.0 is installed and runs, but we are having problem to install Kibana:

	Setting up kibana (7.17.0) ...
	node:buffer:593
	    slice: (buf, start, end) => buf.utf8Slice(start, end),
							^

	RangeError: Index out of range
	    at Object.slice (node:buffer:593:37)
	    at Buffer.toString (node:buffer:811:14)
	    at Object.readFileSync (node:fs:497:41)
	    at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1118:18)
	    at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:981:32)
	    at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:822:12)
	    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
	    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47 {
	  code: 'ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE'

Your help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Voj

NOTE: We have updated node to version 16.13.2, but again having problem to install Kibana with the same error:
RangeError: Index out of range
at Object.slice (node:buffer:593:37)

Welcome to our community! :smiley:

How are you installing Kibana exactly?

Hi,
We are installing Kibana with Debian Package.
Still having problem. We've upgraded node package to 16.13.2 version, but still having the issue.

You don't need to install nodejs for Kibana to run, it's standalone.

Can you please link us to the documentation page that you are using for your install process?

5

Yes, we thought we don't need to install nodejs separately but after getting this error we tried that as well.
We follow instructions from this page:

We haven't resolve this Kibana installation error yet?
If anyone could help would be great!
Once again we wanted to update Kibana to the latest 7.17.0 version on our Ubuntu 16.04 instance running on OpenStack, but had the error during setting up kibana:

node:buffer:593
      slice: (buf, start, end) => buf.utf8Slice(start, end),							^
  RangeError: Index out of range

Your help is very much appreciated.
