I am attempting to install Timelion 7.8 on my free Kibana instance. However, the following occurs:
```
[user@localhost ~]$ /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin install timelion
Found previous install attempt. Deleting...
Babel could not write cache to file: /usr/share/kibana/optimize/.babel_register_cache.json
due to a permission issue. Cache is disabled.

```
The documentation only seems to explain how to access Timelion, because it should already be there. But it doesn't seem to be on my Kibana page at all. Any ideas?

What distribution of Kibana did you install?

The latest rpm (Basic plan).

Then Timelion is bundled, there's no need to install it. It should be under the [Visualise section](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html)?

Same issue,
I'm not trying to use the "Visualization Type" but the Timelion App that allows to build rows and columns with different .es(...) timelines all sharing the same timeframe.

That's been moved into the Visualise section, per that link.
