In this section, we will install Kibana. Kibana is a web interface to visualize and analyze the data in Elasticsearch. Kibana also provides developer tools, which is very handy for running Elasticsearch queries. The queries used in the book can be executed using Kibana developer tools. You need Elasticsearch up and running before you can start using Kibana. Make sure the Kibana version matches the Elasticsearch version. At the time of writing, the latest Elasticsearch version is 5.1.2.
