+summary: Learn how to build a Kibana distributable
+date: 2021-05-10
+tags: ['kibana', 'onboarding', 'dev', 'tutorials', 'build', 'distributable']
+---
+
+On the course of that tutorial it will be possible to learn more about how we can create a Kibana distributable 
+as well as handle its different main configurations.
+
+At any given point, you can get CLI help running the following command:
+
+```bash
+yarn build --help
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+For the basic steps of the build we only require you to use one of the following operating systems:
+
+- Linux
+- macOS
+
+However if as part of the build you also want to generate Linux installation packages (deb, rpm) or Docker images there 
+are other dependencies to have in mind as those installation packages and Docker images generation are run using fpm, dpkg, rpm, and Docker.
+
+### For Linux Installation Packages Build
+
+Please make sure you have the following dependencies installed:
+
+#### Install FPM dependencies
+
+**On OSX/macOS:**
+
+```bash
+brew install gnu-tar rpm
+```
+
+**On Red Hat systems (Fedora 22 or older, CentOS, etc):**
+
+```bash
+yum install ruby-devel gcc make rpm-build rubygems
+```
+
+**On Fedora 23 or newer:**
+
+```bash
+dnf install ruby-devel gcc make rpm-build libffi-devel
+```
+
+**On Oracle Linux 7.x systems:**
+
+```bash
+yum-config-manager --enable ol7_optional_latest
+yum install ruby-devel gcc make rpm-build rubygems
+```
+
+**On Debian-derived systems (Debian, Ubuntu, etc):**
+
+```bash
+apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential
+```
+
+#### Install FPM
+
+Finally install fpm with the gem tool with:
+
+```bash
+gem install fpm -v 1.5.0
+```
+
+### For Docker Images Build
+
+For Docker, the installation instructions can be found at [Install Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+
+
+## Create a Kibana distributable
+
+In a great majority of the use cases where we need to build a Kibana distributable, we just need the archives containing the 
+node executable and the bundled code of the application.
+
+By doing that Linux installation packages and Docker images will be excluded and as a result, the build will be quicker.
+
+We can do it by simply running:
+
+```bash
+yarn build --skip-os-packages
+```
+
+Note that we used `--skip-os-packages` which will skip the OS packages build.
+
+> In case you are testing something and running that same command a couple of times, `--skip-node-download` can be used 
+to speed up the process by a little.
+
+At the end of the process a Kibana distributable was created in a `target` folder created relative to your repository checkout. 
+The folder will look like the following:
+
+![Target Folder Outlook With a Kibana Distributable](../assets/target_folder_with_simple_kibana_distributable.png)
+
+## Controlling the log levels
+
+By default, when building the distributable, the `debug` log level will be used across all the steps. 
+That default setting should give us a good amount of information about the tasks being done.
+
+To turn it off you can run the build along `--no-debug` flag. At that point that information will no longer be printed out.
+
+For a longer and verbose logging than `debug` there is other option that can be passed along the build command which is `--verbose`.
+
+## Create a Kibana distributable with Linux installation packages and Docker images
+
+If you comply with every prerequisite and dependency listed above, then there is also the option to create a Kibana distributable along with 
+Linux installation packages like rpm and deb or Docker images.
+
+To achieve it, you can run:
+
+```bash
+yarn build
+```
+
+At the end you will get the Kibana distributable archives plus the Docker images and both an rpm and a deb package.
+
+To specify just a single installation package or Docker images to build instead of all of them you can add rpm, deb or docker-images as an argument:
+
+```bash
+yarn build --deb
+yarn build --rpm
+yarn build --docker-images
+```
+
+Again the distributable contents resulting from running the build command can be found in a `target` folder created relative to the repository after the build completes.
+It will look something like:
