=== Install Kibana with `.tar.gz`
|
|
|
|
Kibana is provided for Linux and Darwin as a `.tar.gz` package. These packages
|
|
are the easiest formats to use when trying out Kibana.
|
|
|
|
The latest stable version of Kibana can be found on the
|
|
link:/downloads/kibana[Download Kibana] page.
|
|
Other versions can be found on the
|
|
link:/downloads/past-releases[Past Releases page].

[[targz-running]]
|
|
==== Running Kibana from the command line
|
|
|
|
Kibana can be started from the command line as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
./bin/kibana
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
By default, Kibana runs in the foreground, prints its logs to the
|
|
standard output (`stdout`), and can be stopped by pressing `Ctrl-C`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[targz-configuring]]
|
|
==== Configuring Kibana via config file
|
|
|
|
Kibana loads its configuration from the `$KIBANA_HOME/config/kibana.yml`
|
|
file by default. The format of this config file is explained in
|
|
<<settings>>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[targz-layout]]
|
|
==== Directory layout of `.tar.gz` archives
|
|
|
|
The `.tar.gz` packages are entirely self-contained. All files and directories
|
|
are, by default, contained within `$KIBANA_HOME` -- the directory created when
|
|
unpacking the archive.
|
|
|
|
This is very convenient because you don't have to create any directories to
|
|
start using Kibana, and uninstalling Kibana is as easy as removing the
|
|
`$KIBANA_HOME` directory. However, it is advisable to change the default
|
|
locations of the config and data directories so that you do not delete
|
|
important data later on.
