Hi.  
My configuration is: elasticsearch@5.2.2 - kibana@5.2.2 - console@5.2.2

I can’t install kibana plugin 5.2.2.1: this is the message:

→ Downloading file:///tmp/searchguard-kibana-5.2.2-1.zip  
[=====================================] 100%Â Â  
ERROR: ‘elasticsearch’ directory is missing in the plugin zip

Where is the problem ?

Tks

the kibana plugin is for kibana (not for elasticsearch).

Try bin/kibana-plugin install file:///tmp/searchguard-kibana-5.2.2-1.zip
