Elastic Stack Kibana

Hi,

I want to make some changes inside src folder of kibana.
How can i make it to run locally? eg npm start dev??

C02NV9EGG3QC:kibana_latest ushenoy$ npm start

kibana@6.0.0-alpha1 start /Users//Downloads/Dashboard Project/kibana/kibana_latest
sh ./bin/kibana --dev

/usr/local/bin/node: bad option: --no-warnings

I think it depends on the changes you're making in src and on how you "installed" Kibana.

If you downloaded a build, either the tar.gz or installed a .deb .or .rpm package, for some changes, you can make some changes and just start Kibana like this;

/usr/share/kibana# ./bin/kibana

For some other more extensive changes you will have to get all the source from https://github.com/elastic/kibana and get your development environment configured (see the README.md in the Kibana repo).

I did download, but seems like it requires
"erver log [20:00:52.754] [error][status][plugin:elasticsearch@6.0.0-alpha1] Status changed from yellow to red - This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch v6.0.0-alpha1 on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: v5.2.0 @ 127.0.0.1:9200 (127.0.0.1)"

I am not able to find Elasticsearch v6.0.0

In the Kibana github repository, the default branch is "master" which is where work that will be in the 6.0 release goes.
If you want to test code changes compatible with your 5.2.0 Elasticsearch you would need to switch to the 5.2 branch of the Kibana repo.

Or, also download and run Elasticsearch from github "master" branch, which is also labeled 6.0.0-alpha1. They have to match.

I downloaded Elasticsearch from github "master" branch, but there is no bin/elasticSearch script. In fact there is no bin folder at all. Please help

I don't see bin folder to run bin/elasticsearch. FYI

Elasticsearch is a Java project, so you'll have to build it with gradle. There's some info on how to do that here;

Done. Thanks a lot.
