Till Kibana 4.1.6 I was able to run Kibana as a static version by running the src-\>public folder in my tomcat and making few changes in index.js

But I am not able to do it after 4.2 Release since I am not able to find the index.html every other components have .js files from angular

Any leads??

We have changed how kibana runs, so that way it is more consistent with the rest of the elastic stack. It is now run via ./bin/kibana

Thanks for the reply Khalah.  
In Kibana 4.1.6 I can run as a client it in a tomcat server with the src/public folder. But is that possible in the newer versions (after 4.2)?
