Hi,
I was not able to install the **timelion** plugin in Kibana.
I checked with multiple Kibana versions and multiple Operating systems.
On a Mac, I get:
```auto

The command '/bin/sh -c /opt/kibana/bin/kibana plugin -i elastic/timelion' returned a non-zero code: 70

Any ideas ?

@Andrea, this issue was related to Kibana 4.5.1.
I downloaded 5.0.0-alpha4 and was able to successfully install Timelion:
`~/D/kibana-5.0.0-alpha4-darwin-x64: ./bin/kibana-plugin install timelion Attempting to transfer from timelion Attempting to transfer from https://download.elastic.co/kibana/timelion/timelion-5.0.0-alpha4.zip Transferring 5349613 bytes....................

Please create a new topic detailing your environment and the error you are receiving and we can work through it.
