Dear Community,

Sorry if this is not the good place for this topic, maybe you could help me to understand something not clear to me.

I have and ELK Cluster (Elasticsearch / Kibana from [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) at version 7.9.3) and i want to install the Standalone plugins of OD in order to benefit from the Security features

I have checked the documentation

[Standalone Elasticsearch Plugin Install - Open Distro Documentation](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/plugins/#plugin-compatibility)

And it seems that my Elasticsearch and Kibana version are not compatible with OD Elasticsearch and Kibana standalone plugins

Am i wrong ?

Do I need to upgrade to Elasticsearch / Kibana to the version of 7.10 in order to be able to have compatibility with OD Standalone plugins ?

Thanks for you’re help !

Best Regards, Edouard Fazenda.

You might want to checkout the part of the documentation [that deals with standalone plugins](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/plugins/). It’s a bit complicated but that should point you in the right direction of installing the 7.9.x plugins on non-bundled versions of Elasticsearch / Kibana.

Be aware that we don’t test on the non-OSS version of ES and Kibana if you’re using those, it could have rough edges.
