Hi all, I'm getting message "unable to find usable node.js executable" after running ./kibana --oss and couldn't get Kibana up and running. Kibana server OS - Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Installation steps: 1. git clone [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/) 2. cd kibana 3. git checkout 7.1 4. yarn kbn bootstrap 5. ./kibana --oss Do I miss any steps? ---

Hi rashmi, thanks for helping out. which node returns '/home/ubuntu/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.2/bin/node' I couldn't even launch kibana with 'node --trace-warnings --trace-deprecation scripts/kibana --dev --oss' I'm getting error below: ```auto log [01:40:12.473] [fatal][root] { Error: [server.rewriteBasePath]: expected value of type [boolean] but got [string] at ObjectType.validate (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/packages/kbn-config-schema/target/out/types/type.js:59:19) at ConfigService.createConfig (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/src/core/server/config/config_service.ts:97:52) at MapSubscriber.getDistinctConfig.pipe.operators_1.map.config [as project] (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/src/core/server/config/config_service.ts:51:81) at MapSubscriber._next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/operators/map.ts:81:29) at MapSubscriber.Subscriber.next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/Subscriber.ts:102:12) at DistinctUntilChangedSubscriber._next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/operators/distinctUntilChanged.ts:121:24) at DistinctUntilChangedSubscriber.Subscriber.next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/Subscriber.ts:102:12) at MapSubscriber._next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/operators/map.ts:86:22) at MapSubscriber.Subscriber.next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/Subscriber.ts:102:12) at MapSubscriber._next (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/src/internal/operators/map.ts:86:22) cause: { Error: expected value of type [boolean] but got [string] at BooleanType.onError (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/packages/kbn-config-schema/target/out/types/type.js:84:20) at type.Type.schema.error (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/packages/kbn-config-schema/target/out/types/type.js:49:53) at finish (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/types/any/index.js:529:50) at type._validate (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/types/any/index.js:557:24) at type._base (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/types/object/index.js:212:45) at type._validate (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/types/any/index.js:614:37) at type._validateWithOptions (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/types/any/index.js:674:29) at module.exports.internals.Any.root.validate (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/node_modules/joi/lib/index.js:146:23) at ObjectType.validate (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/packages/kbn-config-schema/target/out/types/type.js:54:72) at ConfigService.createConfig (/home/ubuntu/datalake_kibana/kibana/src/core/server/config/config_service.ts:97:52) cause: undefined, path: ['rewriteBasePath'] } } ``` ---

I also notice comment from "tylersmalley" below. Should I download kibana from [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) instead? "You should not download from Github as a zip. Code hosted on Github is meant to be run from source. We provide a production build of Kibana here: [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana)" ---
