Once Kibana environment is ready, use the following npm tasks from your plugin folder.
Note: kibana version in package.json of the plugin should match actual version of installed kibana

On Windows, you'll need you use Git Bash, Cygwin, or a similar shell that exposes the sh command.

• npm start Start kibana and have it include this plugin

• npm start -- --config kibana.yml
  You can pass any argument that you would normally send to bin/kibana by putting them after -- when running npm start

• npm start -- --elasticsearch.url http://10.0.10.2:9200
  Start kibana and provide custom url to elasticsearch

• npm run test:browser
  Run the browser tests in a real web browser

• npm run test:server
  Run the server tests using mocha

For more information about any of these commands run npm run ${task} -- --help.

Since Kibana 6.3 you can use yarn to run tasks:

• yarn start
  Start kibana and have it include this plugin

• yarn start --elasticsearch.url http://10.0.10.2:9200
  Start kibana and provide custom url to elasticsearch

• If you have no Elasticsearch instance then go to kibana folder and run following command in separate command line:
  yarn es snapshot
  This will download and start local copy of Elasticsearch with version required by kibana.

After starting kibana simply access it in browser by url http://localhost:5601/
