   tar -zxf opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
   cd opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0
   # ARM64
   tar -zxf opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz
   cd opensearch-dashboards-3.9.0
   

3. If desired, modify config/opensearch_dashboards.yml.

4. Start OpenSearch Dashboards:

5. 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.
