Hi,

I would like to install a new kibana [plugin](https://github.com/johtani/analyze-api-ui-plugin) using this command **kibana-plugin.bat install**  
` C:\Users\asallemi\Desktop\Elastic stack\kibana-6.3.0\bin>kibana-plugin.bat install file:///C:/analyze-api-ui-plugin.zip`

This is the result:

> 'WHERE' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne  
> ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.  
> Attempting to transfer from file:///C:/analyze-api-ui-plugin.zip  
> Transferring 1492908 bytes....................  
> Transfer complete  
> Retrieving metadata from plugin archive  
> Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"

NW: I downloaded the plugin with version 6.3.0 and my Kibana instance is 6.3.0 version too.

What does that mean **No kibana plugins found in archive**? Any help ?

I was able to install this on Windows successfully

I suspect the zip file you are providing is either incorrect, or corrupt.

Can you try referencing it from Github directly?

`bin/kibana-plugin.bat install https://github.com/johtani/analyze-api-ui-plugin/releases/download/6.3.0/analyze-api-ui-plugin-6.3.0.zip`

I am behind a proxy, because that I tried to clone the plugin and used the command **kibana-plugin.bat install file:///...**. I copied the project into **KIBANA\_HOME/plugins** and it works ! What does that mean **No kibana plugins found in archive**?

It's okay. I find the solution. I have to put the plugin inside a folder with name **kibana** , zip it and use the command 🙂

If you are building it locally, from the git repository, you can do so by running `yarn build`. That will produce the desired plugin archive. Alternatively, you could download the zip from the releases tab, which is [https://github.com/johtani/analyze-api-ui-plugin/releases/download/6.3.0/analyze-api-ui-plugin-6.3.0.zip](https://github.com/johtani/analyze-api-ui-plugin/releases/download/6.3.0/analyze-api-ui-plugin-6.3.0.zip)
