### Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You may want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try
out an open PR:
- [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our [STYLEGUIDE.md](STYLEGUIDE.md).
- For all other questions, check out the [FAQ.md](FAQ.md) and
[wiki](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/wiki).
### Snapshot Builds
For the daring, snapshot builds are available. These builds are created after each commit to the master branch, and therefore are not something you should run in production.

Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer _major_ number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
_Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers._
