After Elasticsearch runs well,  
an error message appears when running Kibana.

"Cannot delete files/directories outside the current working directory. Can be overridden with the `force` option."

So I entered the code.

```auto
bin/kibana --force

```

But an error message appears.  
"Extra serve options "--force" must have a value"  
"undefined"

I want to know why Kibana is not running.

Hi @eeeun23 ,

You can read how to start Kibana in [official docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/start-stop.html)

What stack version are you using? What is the OS name and version?

You try running "./bin/kibana --help" to check available options and required arguments

Regards, Dima
