hi @rudravaram

are you referring to the version listing on the Kibana management page?

On the master branch, this will show the next major. In this case, this is 6.0.0

Are you starting up kibana straight from source? You would use npm to run from source.

[https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) has a tutorial on how to run from source code on the master branch. It requires installing the npm modules dependencies, followed by running the `npm run kibana` grunt task.
