Are you running Kibana in a [standard development environment](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-development-environment)? The download from [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) doesn't support modifying the source, a development version is necessary for that. ---
