I am really confused with where I should set this following piece of code "http-server --cors="kbn-version" -p 8000", where and when should I set this? In the Kibana.yml file? elasticsearch.yml file? Can't figure this out.

Kindly help, thanks.

Hello Ramya,

That piece of code is a script for running an instance of a local test server for hosting a sample dataset. It's really just an example of a minimal server you might run locally to serve data, but really you could serve data from a number of different sources. To use it:

- [Install http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server)
- Run the utility from your bash terminal from the same folder as your downloaded data (assuming you've downloaded data from [this blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0))

The remaining instructions regarding how to consume the data would pretty closely follow the linked blog.

Regards,  
Aaron
