summary: Build custom solutions and applications on top of Kibana.

[Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/kibana) is a pluggable platform that allows users to search, visualize and analyze data in Elasticsearch.

Kibana ships with many out-of-the-box capabilities that can be extended and enhanced by custom javascript plugins. Developers can also write their own custom applications.

2. Create a simple <DocLink id="kibHelloWorldApp" text="Hello World plugin"/>.

every public plugin API.

slug: /kibana-dev-docs/hello-world-app
title: Hello World
summary: Build a very basic plugin that registers an application that says "Hello World!".
date: 2021-08-03
tags: ['kibana', 'dev', 'contributor', 'tutorials']
---

This tutorial walks you through two ways to create a plugin that registers an application that says "Hello World!".

You can view the tested example plugin at [examples/hello_world](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/examples/hello_world).

## 1. Set up your development environment

Read through <DocLink id="kibDevTutorialSetupDevEnv" text="these instructions"/> to get your development environment set up.

## 2. Option 1 - Write it manually

This is a good option if you want to understand the bare minimum needed to register a "Hello world" application. The example plugin is based off of this option.

1. Create your plugin folder. Start off in the `kibana` folder.

```
$ cd examples
$ mkdir hello_world
$ cd hello_world
```

2. Create the <DocLink id="kibDevTutorialBuildAPlugin" section="1-kibanajson" text="kibana.json manifest file"/>.

```
$ touch kibana.json
```

and add the following:

```
{
"id": "helloWorld",
"version": "1.0.0",
"kibanaVersion": "kibana",
"ui": true
}
```

3. Create a `tsconfig.json` file.

```
$ touch tsconfig.json
```

And add the following to it:

```
{
"extends": "../../tsconfig.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "./target",
"skipLibCheck": true
},
"include": [
"index.ts",
"common/**/*.ts",
"public/**/*.ts",
"public/**/*.tsx",
"server/**/*.ts",
"../../typings/**/*"
],
"exclude": []
}
```

4. Create a <DocLink id="kibDevTutorialBuildAPlugin" section="2-publicindexts" text="`public/plugin.tsx` file "/>.

```
$ mkdir public
$ touch plugin.tsx
```

And add the following to it:

```ts
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { AppMountParameters, CoreSetup, CoreStart, Plugin } from '../../../src/core/public';

export class HelloWorldPlugin implements Plugin {
public setup(core: CoreSetup) {
// Register an application into the side navigation menu
core.application.register({
id: 'helloWorld',
title: 'Hello World',
async mount({ element }: AppMountParameters) {
ReactDOM.render(<div>Hello World!</div>, element);
return () => ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(element);
},
});
}
public start(core: CoreStart) {
return {};
}
public stop() {}
}
```

5. Create a <DocLink id="kibDevTutorialBuildAPlugin" section="3-publicplugints" text="`public/index.ts` file "/>.

```
$ touch index.ts
```

```ts
import { HelloWorldPlugin } from './plugin';

export function plugin() {
return new HelloWorldPlugin();
}
```

## 2. Option 2 - Use the automatic plugin generator

This is an easy option to get up and running ASAP and includes additional code.

Use the Automatic plugin generator to get a basic structure for a new plugin. Plugins that are not part of the Kibana repo should be developed inside the plugins folder. If you are building a new plugin to check in to the Kibana repo, you will choose between a few locations:

`x-pack/plugins` for plugins related to subscription features
`src/plugins` for plugins related to free features
`examples` for developer example plugins (these will not be included in the distributables)

```
% node scripts/generate_plugin hello_world
? Plugin name (use camelCase) helloWorld
? Will this plugin be part of the Kibana repository? Yes
? What type of internal plugin would you like to create Kibana Example
? Should an UI plugin be generated? Yes
? Should a server plugin be generated? No
succ 🎉
Your plugin has been created in examples/hello_world
```

## 3. Build your new application

Run `yarn kbn bootstrap`

## 3. Start Kibana with examples and navigate to your new application

In one terminal window, run `yarn es snapshot --license trial` to boot up Elasticsearch.

In another terminal window, run `yarn start --run-examples` to boot up Kibana and include the example plugins. Your example plugin should show up in the navigation at the very bottom.

If you build it manually it will look something like this:
![hello world manual](./hello_world_manual.png)

If you built it with the generator, it will look something like this:
![hello world generated](./hello_world_generated.png)
