Installing latest kibana plugin fails

Search Guard
#1

I’m trying to install the latest kibana and searchguard.
I’m using the kibana-oss rpm from https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-oss-7.9.1-x86_64.rpm
The plugin install is failing miserably:

$ sudo -u kibana bin/kibana-plugin install https://maven.search-guard.com/search-guard-kibana-plugin-release/com/floragunn/searc
h-guard-kibana-plugin/7.9.1-45.0.0/search-guard-kibana-plugin-7.9.1-45.0.0.zip
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir"
#2

apparently this also happens on 7.9.0 but not on 7.8.1-43.0.0

Hi. Strange, it works on Ubuntu and macOS.

Make sure kibana user has access to the kibana folder and its subfolders.

chown -R kibana:{kibanausergroup} /path/to/kibana

Indeed, changing ownership to kibana of the whole of /usr/share/kibana fixed it.
A shame elastic aren’t able to offer proper processes

thanks!
