Yarn start error: Permission denied

[wenqi73]

I tried to develop kibana and run the commands in Getting started | Kibana Guide [7.14] | Elastic, when I run yarn start --run-examples the terminal threw an error:

user/git/kibana/node_modules/lmdb-store/index.js:77
                env.open(options)
      ^

Hi,

I wasn't able to reproduce the permissions error.

Have you tried running yarn kbn clean and then rerunning yarn es-snapshot and then in a separate terminal yarn start --run-examples? Or alternatively delete the node_modules directory, then yarn kbn bootstrap?

Best,
Rachel
