Hi all,

I can get previous version 's source code from github release history `(beats-6.8.6.zip)`. However, it seems different from what I got if I just cloned it using command line. The source code of previous version dose not have the following files and folders.

So is there anyone can teach me how to run the beats locally using previous version folder. Many thanks!

Yiw
