I am trying to build Kibana 6.6 and see `spawn fpm ENOENT` error.

HI, Probaly, you can try and delete the optimize folder in the kibana folder and restarting Kibana. There have been improvements to not having the optimization process failing in Kibana. I saw similar issue being reported here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17190](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17190) Is there a version mismatch btw Kibana and ES ? Also thinking its a permission issue. Try setting it as KIBANA\_ROOT and check it if it works? Thanks Rashmi ---

Hi Rashmi, Sorry for the late reply and thanks a lot for your information. Here is what I have done. 1. git clone [https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git](https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git) kibana 2. cd kibana 3. git checkout 6.6 4. yarn kbn bootstrap --- And running kibana with yarn start works all fine. 5. yarn build Running Kibana itself is all fine. The issue is when I try to build. The kibana version is 6.6 and if I understand correctly, the build shouldn't matter with elasticsearch version? And what does 'KIBANA\_ROOT' mean as you mentioned above? Where should I set this? Thank you so much!! Jasmine ---

Kibana uses the ruby gem `fpm` to build deb and rpm packages. If you don't need deb or rpm builds you can `yarn build --skip-os-packages`, or if you do `gem install fpm`. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-os-packages) has a little more info for further reading ---

Hi, Sorry for really long wait response and thanks a lot for your comments. Actually we are trying to setup a Kibana build environment from the git source. I talked to our team members, here are some questions I have. 1. Is there a specific Linux and version required to build Kibana 6.6? Would CentOs Linux works? 2. Is there any other dependencies? From the document, I only see ruby-dev and fpm. ```auto apt-get install ruby-dev rpm gem install fpm -v 1.5.0 ``` 1. Since our build system are really restrict from download outside packages, is there a way to skip download packages from the build commands? And if we skipped, what are the packages we need to pre-download / pre-setup? 2. And is there any commands or options whihch we can use to include the installed plugins in the build files? Thanks sooooo much!! ---
