Hi,  
I follow the instruction of  
node scripts/generate\_plugin test  
script,and successfully create the plugin template project.  
Then I move to the plugins/test folder  
and run yarn start,and It failed

[user1@localhost test] yarn start yarn run v1.16.0 warning package.json: No license field plugin-helpers start  
Task "start" failed:

Hmm, did you run `yarn kbn bootstrap` prior to `yarn start`?

Hi,Lukas

After git clone kibana,I run `yarn kbn bootstrap` under the /kinana folder path.  
It works well. But then I change the path to /kibana/plugins/test and run `yarn start`,It showed the message that I mentioned above.

Hi,Lukas  
I find there is no cli folder under kibana/plugins?  
but the plugin-helpers script require('../cli'),why?

```
const nodeMajorVersion = parseFloat(process.version.replace(/^v(\d+)\..+/, '$1'));
if (nodeMajorVersion < 6) {
  console.error('FATAL: kibana-plugin-helpers requires node 6+');
  process.exit(1);
}
require('../cli');
```

Hi,  
Sorry for my ignorance of npm-link

By the way,I try the cmd below

```
[user1@localhost kbn-plugin-helpers]$ pwd
/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers
[user1@localhost kbn-plugin-helpers]$ node cli.js start
Task "start" failed:

Error: spawnSync node ENOENT
    at Object.spawnSync (internal/child_process.js:990:20)
    at spawnSync (child_process.js:601:24)
    at execFileSync (child_process.js:629:13)
    at module.exports (/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/tasks/start/start_action.js:43:3)
    at run (/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/lib/run.js:30:10)
    at Command.<anonymous> (/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/lib/commander_action.js:27:13)
    at Command.listener (/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/node_modules/commander/index.js:315:8)
    at Command.emit (events.js:189:13)
    at Command.parseArgs (/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/node_modules/commander/index.js:654:12)
    at Command.parse (/home/user1/project/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/node_modules/commander/index.js:474:21)

```

And I console.log plugin.kibanaRoot  
kbn-plugin-helpers/tasks/start/start\_action.js  
the result is as below

```
kibanaRoot:/home/user1/kibana/kibana
Task "start" failed:

    at Command.emit (events.js:194:7)
    at Command.parseArgs (/home/user1/kibana/packages/kbn-plugin-helpers/node_modules/commander/index.js:654:12)

```

why is the error kibanaRoot path?
