Kibana chkconfig startup error

[deepunaren (Narendra Kumar)]

kibana-5.2.1-linux-x86_64]# chkconfig --add kibana
kibana-5.2.1-linux-x86_64]# service kibana start
which: no node in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)
unable to find usable node.js executable.

if I run ./kibana it runs perfectly. I am just trying to add it to service so that I can stay in background.

please anyone can assist on this.

hi @deepunaren,

to run as a service, it is probably easy to start with the debian package. Here's a step-by-step Running kibana as a service on Linux. That will take care of the hoisting the node-runtime for you.

thanks,

@deepunaren

hmm, I'm not sure what's what.

• Did you modify the install scripts ('pre_install.sh') at all?
• what OS are you on? I tried on Ubuntu 16, which is fine.
• How does your /usr/bin folder look like? Is there a node executable there?

thx,
