=== Installing Plugins with Linux packages
The Kibana server needs to be able to write to files in the `optimize` directory. If you're installing plugins using sudo or su you'll
want to make sure these commands are ran as the user `kibana`. This user is already added for you as part of the package installation.
[source,shell]
$ sudo -u kibana bin/kibana-plugin install x-pack
If plugins were installed as a different user and the server is not starting, then you will need to change the owner of these files:
[source,shell]
$ chown -R kibana:kibana /path/to/kibana/optimize
== Updating & Removing Plugins
To update a plugin, remove the current version and reinstall the plugin.
