Hello, I've just installed Kibana in a Centron, but when I start kibana I get this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/8/f87cfba7ae1da01571aa8678dfe9df3c4381eefb.png) It says that kibana can't open binary file. Kibana has right to access (already chmod) I checked forums and it says it's a problem of 32 bits OS, but mine is 64 bits. What could be the problem then? Regards. ---

Proof it is a 64 bits: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/3/d3c21adfce59d332c0d265c3e866bb3ccb312cd1.png) ---

And I did this to install kibana: ``` curl -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.2.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz tar -xzf kibana-6.2.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gzµ ``` **I also did a reinstallation of kibana in case of, still have the same problem** ---

> [@Adren](#): > > Centron What is a Centron? Is that the operating system? Kibana bundles nodeJs for certain platforms. Maybe yours isn't supported? Can you find your node executable in your Kibana install and try `--version` with it? I'm on Windows and using a git-bach shell and I get this; ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/1/a161a4fa737d688be31173d45b2c42c53f696e32.png) If node doesn't work, then Kibana won't work on this platform.

Sorry I meant CentOs, Centreon is the server's brand lol.. I did try "-- version" but still have the same error. The funny thing is, I successfully installed kibana in the CentOs test server which has also the same installation than the server I'm working now. I'm running out of ideas.. **I'll try to install node.js as you mentionned maybe it'll work** **Well it didnt work** ---

Ok so, I re installed again kibana but this time using this: `wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.2.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` and it works! ---

Sorry I didn't notice before that you had used the `darwin` download which is for Mac OS. Glad you got it working! ---
