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

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; ```auto /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](https://github.com/elastic/kibana) and get your development environment configured (see the [README.md](http://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.

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 ---

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