Looks like you're using the 64-bit version of Kibana, is your system actually 64-bit? Sounds like maybe you need the 32-bit Linux build... Running `uname -a` will probably give you some insight into which arch you're running on. ---

Yeah, so step one is running the 32 bit version instead, as you are on a 32 bit system. How'd you install it in the first place? We don't have an apt install process as far as I know, so I'm not sure how Kibana ended up in /opt on your system. Perhaps you put it there by hand? In any event, all you need to do to "uninstall" Kibana is simply remove the `/opt/kibana` path, it doesn't create files anywhere else. ---
