Description

#### Tell us about the issue

I was going through "Developing Logstash Core" section -> [https://github.com/elastic/logstash#developing-logstash-core](url).

When I ran the command `bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'`,
I got the error as:
`An unexpected error occurred! {:error=># [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/installation-error/358588](url), and I got pointed to an existing issue, #16025. When I changed `OSS` to `false` everything worked perfectly.

Should we remove the OSS step in the documentation?

Research direction

Start at the “Developing Logstash Core” section in the repository README and reproduce the documented `bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { stdout {} }'` command with the OSS setting. Review existing issue #16025 and the linked forum discussion for the documented cause. Done means the OSS step and command are corrected or removed so the instructions work as intended.
