Kibana is provided for Linux and Darwin as a `.tar.gz` package. These packages
|
||
are the easiest formats to use when trying out Kibana.
|
||
|
||
This package contains both free and subscription features.
|
||
<<managing-licenses,Start a 30-day trial>> to try out all of the features.
|
||
|
||
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].

The Linux archive for Kibana v{version} can be downloaded and installed as follows:

|
||
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
|
||
--------------------------------------------
|

curl -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-{version}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
|

curl https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-{version}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha512 | shasum -a 512 -c - <1>
|
||
tar -xzf kibana-{version}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
|
||
cd kibana-{version}-linux-x86_64/ <2>
|
||
--------------------------------------------
|
||
<1> Compares the SHA of the downloaded `.tar.gz` archive and the published checksum, which should output
|
||
`kibana-{version}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz: OK`.
|

<2> This directory is known as `$KIBANA_HOME`.

==== Download and install the Darwin package

[IMPORTANT]
|
||
.macOS Gatekeeper warnings
|
||
====
|
||
Apple's rollout of stricter notarization requirements affected the notarization
|
||
of the {version} {kib} artifacts. If macOS Catalina displays a dialog when you
|
||
first run {kib} that interrupts it, you will need to take an action to allow it
|
||
to run.
|
||
|
||
To prevent Gatekeeper checks on the {kib} files, run the following command on the
|
||
downloaded `.tar.gz` archive or the directory to which was extracted:
|
||
[source,sh]
|
||
----
|
||
xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine <archive-or-directory>
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can add a security override if a Gatekeeper popup appears by
|
||
following the instructions in the _How to open an app that hasn’t been notarized
|
||
or is from an unidentified developer_ section of
|
||
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491[Safely open apps on your Mac].

[[targz-configuring]]
|
||
==== Configure {kib} via the config file
|
||
|
||
Kibana loads its configuration from the `$KIBANA_HOME/config/kibana.yml`
|
||
file by default. The format of this config file is explained in
|
||
{kibana-ref}/settings.html[Configuring Kibana].
|
||
|
||
|
||
[[targz-layout]]
|
||
==== Directory layout of `.tar.gz` archives
|
||
|
||
The `.tar.gz` packages are entirely self-contained. All files and directories
|
||
are, by default, contained within `$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.
