Metricbeat unable to find its own yml config

Elastic Stack Beats

Installed metricbeat-6.7.0-x86_64.rpm on my single node ELK 6.7 server. When I go to load dashboards I get the following error:

[root@elk ~]# /usr/share/metricbeat/bin/metricbeat -e setup --dashboards
Exiting: error loading config file: stat metricbeat.yml: no such file or directory
[root@elk ~]# ll /etc/metricbeat/

-rw-------. 1 root root 5653 Apr 1 13:15 orig.metricbeat.yml
[root@elk ~]#

What am I missing?

I got passed this error by doing:

[root@elk ~]# cd /etc/metricbeat/
[root@elk metricbeat]# /usr/share/metricbeat/bin/metricbeat -e setup --dashboards

Sorry for the late response... I'm glad you found the solution.
