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](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/running-kibana-as-a-service-on-linux/72021/2). That will take care of the hoisting the node-runtime for you.

thanks,
