Npm run elasticsearch: Fatal error: Cannot read property 'master' of undefined

Hi all,

I am trying to build up a kibana development environment as described here and forked, then cloned the kibana repo. Iยดve set up the development environment until it was failing at "npm run elasticsearch" step. I have already searched for a solution without any result. Therefore I appreciate any support. Thank you in advance.

Here is the trace log:

Seems to work OK for me. I'm on Windows and running in a gitbash shell. My output doesn't look like yours.

Did you run npm install ? And did that work OK?

My output:
