I am just trying to get Kibana3 up and running, and the shortest and  
easiest evaluation path seemed to be using Node.js.

The ES Downloads page's Kibana archive does not contain a server.js file,  
and the following site contained the only method that did, and also  
referenced the ES github repository:

> Last month, I attended a great talk on Devoxx French edition (see on “Migrating an application from SQL to NoSQL”. The talk title was pretty well chosen but it was mainly a presentation…

So I cloned the repo, but server.js is inside the sample subdirectory and  
not the scripts subdirectory. So with that in mind, here is the updated  
version of the text from the link:

\*As states Kibana3 documentation, it’s ‘just’ a bunch of static HTML and

> Javascript resources that can be put onto any reachable web server. For  
> test commodity, Kibana3 embeds a little Node.js server that can be run if  
> you’re lazy like me :\*  
> ~/dev/github/kibana3$ node sample/server.js  
> Http Server running at [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/)

I can see src/index.html from the directory in which the node command is  
running, and the Node.js server starts OK.

But when I connect to [http://localhost:8000/index.html](http://localhost:8000/index.html) via the browser, I  
get:

_Not Found_  
The requested URL ./src/index.html was not found on this server.

Is there some way to run Kibana as (1) a \_site plugin with details on where  
to put Kibana's files exactly? or (2) from Node.js but what URL to use when  
it starts?

I managed to get Kibana up and running in one shot from another site's  
github repository [https://github.com/revington/node-kibana](https://github.com/revington/node-kibana) but I am not  
sure of the version of Kibana 3 that is used there, and it would be nice to  
go as directly as possible to the Elasticsearch sites, whether the  
Downloads page or the official github repo, so that I can more easily get  
the most recent updates as needed.

Thanks...

Brian
