Hello, Im triying to setup a Development Environment of the latest version of Kibana (following this steps: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)) and I have an error when I try to start a Kibana server with npm start: > $ npm start > kibana@5.0.0-snapshot start /home/dlumbrer/kibana > ./bin/kibana --dev The console write that and not moving or anything starts. The Elasticsearch server works well ("npm run elasticsearch") and launch an Elasticsearch at port 9200. Is strange because I was working with a Development Environment on an old version of Kibana and I had no problem. Thanks. ---
