Hi. I have elasticsearch up and running in linux (manjaro). But I'm missing somthing because all docs and forums keep mentioning bin/plugin command and I just don't have that. [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/marvel](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/marvel) [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html) Writing whereis elasticsearch i get: `/usr/bin/elasticsearch /etc/elasticsearch /usr/share/elasticsearch` None of these have "plugin" in the bin folder. This kinda worked but I don't know if the command is equivalent to docs one: `sudo /usr/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install license sudo /usr/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install marvel-agent` When I go to localhost:9200/\_plugin/marvel I get a blank page. For kibana I did this: `sudo bin/kibana plugin --install elasticsearch/marvel/latest` And now marvel is present in kibana. Any clue? ---

What version are you running with? ---

And did you install with apt/yum? ---

I installed using pacman. `sudo pacman -S elasticsearch` Btw, Head plugin did work. `sudo /usr/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head` test: [http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/head/](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/) displays the plugin So, not sure why marvel displays a white screen (and maybe a 404 error) If I list the plugins, both are there: cd /usr/share/elasticsearch ls plugins/ > head license marvel-agent ---

What's pacman? `elasticsearch-plugin` is only applicable for 5.0 and above. if you are really on 2.4 then you need to use `/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin`. ---

Well, my distro is based in linux arch. It's called manjaro. And pacman is the package manager. I installed the ELK stack following tutorials like this one: > **[Support #415: Install an ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana (ELK) Stack on Arch...](https://project.altservice.com/issues/415)** > > Redmine Thanks for that last comment, but the point is that I don't have "plugin" under "bin" folder. See: `ls /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin` > elasticsearch.in.sh That's why I just can't follow the installation process I mentioned originally. Not sure what's going on. ---

I dunno either, it's not a directly supported platform and I don't know how that packaging manager works sorry. ---

Hi Guillermo - > [@gperez](#): > > When I go to localhost:9200/\_plugin/marvel I get a blank page. If you're using ES 2.x, you can access Marvel by going to localhost:9200/app/marvel This is because from ES 2.0, Marvel became a Kibana plugin and is accessible by firstly launching Kibana instance and then switching to the Marvel app from the app switch icon as shown below. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/4ae7e486776b8750f84590a8795ea8913305487a.jpg) Hope this helps, Bohyun ---

> [@bohyun](#): > > If you're using ES 2.x, you can access Marvel by going to > > localhost:9200/app/marvel Hi Bohyun! Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do see Marvel under Kibana. But I don't see Sense, and that's why I was trying to access through the "old" URI. Btw, your link returns: `{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No feature for name [marvel]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No feature for name [marvel]"},"status":400}` Not sure what should I expect. But as I said, Marvel indeed exists inside Kibana. I'll try to get Sense listed. ---

If you haven't changed the port number for Kibana, you'd probably reach the Marvel end point at `localhost:5601/app/marvel` > [@gperez](#): > > I'll try to get Sense listed. you can find the instructions here: [Installing Sense | Sense Documentation | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/sense/master/installing.html#installing) Hope that helps, Bohyun ---

Great. Thanks a lot @bohyun It all makes sense now. ---

Please feel free to check out our 5.0 beta1 and let us know if you have any feedback. It's called 5.0 because we started a unified release process for all of our products and since Kibana was already on 4.x, it made sense to bump up the versions for all of the other products.
