Is there a way I can download the Kibana user guide in PDF (or any similar output).  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index.html) - I basically need all of this so I can use this offline in a sense for training etc. I thought about downloading the HTML but this will obviously look silly without a browser...

EDIT: I should probably add that this is for training for myself. I'm not using it in any commercial way.

There is no current way to download the Kibana documentation from `www.elastic.co`.

However, you can build the documentation and create a bundle for offline use

1. Install `yarn` 1.6
2. Checkout out the [kibana repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana)
3. open command prompt in `KIBANA_HOME`
4. Run `yarn kbn bootstrap` to install and build required dependencies
5. Run `node scripts/docs.js` to build documentation.
6. tar directory `KIBANA_HOME/html_docs` and transport zip to offline network
7. untar html\_docs and open `html_docs/index.html` in your browser on the offline network
