Actually, you must not close the terminal (cmd).  
If you close it, it's as if you stop the kibana process, so the url will not work

Hi,

That means the CMD should always up and running.

This is not the case with earlier kibana (5.0).

Now since I have close the CMD, how I need to open it again? Kindly help.

I do not really know the Windows system. but actually, you have to install it or launch it as a process.
