# Installing sample data
There are a couple ways to easily get data ingested into Elasticsearch.

## Sample data packages available for one click installation

The easiest is to install one or more of our available sample data packages. If you have no data, you should be prompted to install when running Kibana for the first time. You can also access and install the sample data packages by going to the **Integrations** page and selecting **Sample data**.

## makelogs script

The provided `makelogs` script will generate sample data.
```bash
node scripts/makelogs --auth <username>:<password>
```

The default username and password combination are `elastic:changeme`
Make sure to execute `node scripts/makelogs` **after** Elasticsearch is up and running!

## CSV upload

You can also use the CSV uploader provided on the **Upload file** page available in the list of **Integrations**. Navigate to **Add data** > **Upload file** to upload your data from a file.
