Recently I started to work with ELK 6.3. I know that ML is enabled by default in both Elastic and Kibana, But when I get \_xpack API, It says that ml is **not** available, And there is no machine learning tab in Kibana menu. I installed both Elastic and Kibana on a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 VM. What else should I do to use ML? ---

It seems that ML is not available in basic license 😥 ---

Hi Vahid, if you'd still like to try out ML you can do so with a [30-day trial license](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/start-trial.html). Thanks, CJ ---
