I have created a custom Kibana plugin at [https://github.com/rndrev/fsm\_plugin](https://github.com/rndrev/fsm_plugin) How can I package this plugin for distribution as a zip file? I tried running npm run build in the development environment but it errors out! Thanks, rndrev ---

@rndrev running the `build` script of your plugin is the right way to do it. Those errors you are having looks legit to me, so in order to pack the plugin as a zip archive, you will need to solve them. Have you generated your plugin from the last available plugin template generator? Also, are you compiling against the last version? ---

Hey tiagocosta, My plugin is programmed for Kibana 6.7.1, so not the latest version. Is there another way to include the plugin in a production instance...can I just copy the files over? Thanks, rndrev ---

Well I guess that just copy the plugin folder to your production instance under `plugins` folder would work, but you should really try to solve the legit errors and run the build on the plugin itself. Cheers ---
