Unable to create Kibana index ".kibana"

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello,
I just Installed the ELK stack and was following the documentation. I loaded elasticsearch with some sample data provided in the docs. However, whenever I try to access Kibana, I get a RED status saying: Unable to create Kibana index ".kibana" . I can't access anything in the Kibana web Interface although the elasticsearch is working fine. Please help!

Here is the output of curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v&pretty'

Are you running with X-Pack installed or just the open-source version?

I downloaded the .deb file from here and thats what I am running. I haven't installed X-pack.

Can you provide the Kibana logs?
