Kibana is coded in JavaScript and needs IBM Node.js for IBM Z (s390x) platform.

This recipe is for building Kibana (4.1.1) for Linux on z Systems (SLES12/SLES11/RHEL6/RHEL7)

If IBM Node.js is already installed, go to step 3; otherwise go to http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/nodesdk/, click Download now for Linux on z Systems and Download Version 1.2, follow the instruction to download IBMNode.js 64-bit version and move to Linux system.
On Linux, install Node.js

$ chmod +x ibm-1.2.0.5-node-v0.12.7-linux-s390x.bin $ ./ibm-1.2.0.5-node-v0.12.7-linux-s390x.bin

Follow screen instruction install Node.js to a folder (for example <IBM_NODE_HOME>).

Get Kibana release package and extract

 $ wget https://download.elastic.co/kibana/kibana/kibana-4.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
 $ tar xvf kibana-4.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz

If wget is not installed, perform

 $ yum install wget              # for RHEL or
 $ zypper install wget           # for SLES

Replace Node.js in the package with the installed IBM Node.js.

 $ cd kibana-4.1.1-linux-x64
 $ mv node node_old         # rename the node
 $ ln -s <IBM_NODE_HOME>/ibm/node  node

This creates a new folder node that links to installed IBM Node.js

Now Kibana is ready to execute, make sure an Elasticsearch instance is running, and update the Kibana configuration file config/kibana.yml to set elasticsearch_url to the host that runs Elasticsearch.
```
 $ bin/kibana     # start Kibana
```
