Customize kibana 4 and check for changes to be reflected before making a build

I have just started exploring kibana 4. I am trying to make few UI modifications like removing the kibana icon in the nav bar. After making the changes,we need to prepare a build. I went through the 'CONTRIBUTING.md' file under kibana repo, where they have provided instructions on how to prepare a build. But it takes some time(10 to 15 min) to prepare a build after the changes.Is there any way where i can make the changes and see if the changes are working fine before making a build ?

Solution

  • I am using Kibana 4.3-snapshot.Not sure what was the issue.I cloned a fresh copy from here : https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git Ran the following commands and could see the development server running.

    nvm install 0.12 

npm install 

npm start
