kibana-mithril 1.2.1 (6.6.0 or 7.0.0-beta1) will not install on kibana 6.6.1

Probably a trivial thing but the documentation leads me to believe that 1.2.1 will install on kibana 6.6.0 or newer, but it apparently does not:
bash-4.2$ kibana-plugin install 'https://github.com/codingchili/kibana-mithril/releases/download/1.2.1/mithril-GNU.Linux-x86_64-6.6.0.zip'
Found previous install attempt. Deleting...

Hello @stephgosling
Kibana plugins are pinned to each minor version, this forces us to create a dist for each release. Even if it's just minor bugfixes.
You may download the 6.6.0 version distribution zip and edit the following in kibana/kibana-mithril/package.json
"kibana": {
"version": "6.6.0"
},
set version to 6.6.1 and replace the file in the zip. Local plugin archives can be installed with the file:/// protocol. example kibana-plugin install file:///.... Alternatively clone the repository, edit package.json and run the build script.
I will replace 6.6.0 with 6.6.1 in the build matrix

Reference to some discussion on the topic.
Basically the plugin system wasn't mature two years ago to follow semver. It still isn't and even bugfix releases may break compatibility.
And also, I will look over the documentation to bring clarity to this.
@stephgosling updated the 1.2.1 release with a build for 6.6.1. GNU/Linux builds are done, still waiting for the windows build to complete.
@codingchili amazing thank you! I was hacking at the zipfile but couldn't work out out to get the kibana-plugin to read a local file, I should have tried file:// but I didn't. Thanks very much for the quick turnaround!
Thanks for the update, closing this issue. 👍
