Install OpenSearch Dashboards from a tarball

To install OpenSearch Dashboards from a tarball, follow these steps:

Download the tarball from the OpenSearch downloads page or by using the command line, for example, using curl.

For an x64 host, use the following command:

curl -fsSLO https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch-dashboards/3.9.0/opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

For an ARM64 host, use the following command:

curl -fsSLO https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch-dashboards/3.9.0/opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Extract the TAR file to a directory.

For an x64 host, use the following command:
```
tar -zxf opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
```
For an ARM64 host, use the following command:
```
tar -zxf opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz
```
Then change to the extracted directory:
```
cd opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0
```
Start OpenSearch Dashboards:
```
./bin/opensearch-dashboards
```
In a web browser, go to http://localhost:5601 and log in as the admin user using the custom admin password that you set when you installed OpenSearch. If OpenSearch Dashboards runs on a remote host, replace localhost with the IP address or DNS name of that host. OpenSearch Dashboards can take about 1 minute to start. For more information, see Accessing OpenSearch Dashboards.

By default, OpenSearch Dashboards connects to OpenSearch at https://localhost:9200 as the kibanaserver user and accepts connections only from the host on which it runs. To change these settings, edit config/opensearch_dashboards.yml. For more information, see Configuring OpenSearch Dashboards.
