I am just starting using Kibana (5.5.0). I found a nice plugin called Vega. After spending several hours unsuccessfully trying to install this plugin, I decided to publish here this question. For example, when I run this command bin/kibana-plugin install file:///ust/test/kibana-vega-vis-master.zip, I get this error:

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"

I think you are installing the wrong file. From the releases page, right click the vega_vis-5.5.0-(latest version).zip, use "copy link address", and use that URL with bin/kibana-plugin install https://....

For example, for the current version as of this writing, for Kibana 5.5.0, you would install it with:

bin/kibana-plugin install https://github.com/nyurik/kibana-vega-vis/releases/download/v0.2.3/vega_vis-0.2.3--for-Kibana-5.5.0.zip
