I am trying to install sense plugin for elasticsearch/kibana. I have successfully installed Kibana but when following the instruction on https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/sense/current/installing.html I type : ./kibana plugin --install elastic/sense, on the bin directory inside kibana folder, and I get :

 ERROR  unknown command plugin

  Usage: bin/kibana [command=serve] [options]

  Kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.

  Commands:
    serve  [options]  Run the kibana server
    help  <command>   Get the help for a specific command

  "serve" Options:

    -h, --help                 output usage information
    -e, --elasticsearch <uri>  Elasticsearch instance
    -c, --config <path>        Path to the config file, can be changed with the CONFIG_PATH environment variable as well. Use mulitple --config args to include multiple config files.
    -p, --port <port>          The port to bind to
    -q, --quiet                Prevent all logging except errors
    -Q, --silent               Prevent all logging
    --verbose                  Turns on verbose logging
    -H, --host <host>          The host to bind to
    -l, --log-file <path>      The file to log to
    --plugin-dir <path>        A path to scan for plugins, this can be specified multiple times to specify multiple directories
    --plugin-path <path>       A path to a plugin which should be included by the server, this can be specified multiple times to specify multiple paths
    --plugins <path>           an alias for --plugin-dir

I can't figure out why I get this error, how can I install sense plugin then ?

As wuxiwei said, Sense was renamed to Console and it is already available on Kibana 5.*. In Kibana, just click on Dev Tools:
