I have setup kibana as per the guide and I have checked out version as well. But while running bootstrap cmd, I have been presented with below error

```auto

```

I have changed the permission to entire kibana directory using chmod and changed the ownership to root, particular user that I'm using for all the directories, but still no luck.

I have attached the complete log file. Could some one please help me this.

Hi @vikramnr

What branch did you try to bootstrap?

If it is a master, then today you should have Node v14.16.1. Try to update it.  
Yarn version is ok.

Give it another go by running `yarn kbn bootstrap`, you can fin the guide [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-getting-started.html)

Regards, Dzmitry

Thanks @Dzmitry

I managed to resolve the issue by using changing ownership of elasticsearch and kibana folders. I also changed my elastic & kibana versions from the latest one to the branch that I wanted and using the correct node versions for that version.
