Hello all,
I was installing ROR Enterprise on an updated version of ELK,
Things were looking fine upto the part Optimizing and caching browser bundles...
After which I get this error, does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Command failed: /usr/share/kibana/node/bin/node /usr/share/kibana/src/c
li --env.name=production --optimize.useBundleCache=false --server.autoListen=false --plugins.initialize=false

Hi @frederickfrnnd, this is a common problem with installing any Kibana plugin. Also X-Pack is affected by it, here people propose some workarounds:

Thanks, this worked for me for installing the plugin,
I realized later that this is also the issue with running kibana. I’m trying to run kibana with the same node options. Will report back on how it went.

I tried the same to run kibana as a process, it gives me a similar error.
How do you think I can fix this issue?

Try deleting everything and reinstalling Kibana from scratch.
