I have successfully installed the plugin on elasticsearch. I downloaded the zip file for Kibana, search-guard-kibana-plugin-6.1.0-8.zip, and am receiving the following error:

idtuser@lt-dellubuntu1:/usr/share/kibana$ sudo bin/kibana-plugin install /home/idtuser/Downloads/search-guard-kibana-plugin-6.1.0-8.zip

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error “No valid url specified.”

Kibana version:

kbn-name: kibana

kbn-version: 6.1.0

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
