I just install Splunk EP 6.6 on my Cne OS VM and install it b following the instruction. However, I can't start it up

due to the following

...
splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/fallback/
splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/fallback/dashboard.js
splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/fallback/dashboard.css
splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/xml/
splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/xml/print.xml
splunk/share/copyright.txt
[root@splunk opt]# cd /opt/splunk/bin
[root@splunk bin]# ls -ls
total 123564

[root@splunk opt]# cd /opt/splunk/bin
[root@splunk bin]# ls -ls
total 123564
export SPLUNK_HOME=/opt
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk start
command not found
[root@splunk bin]# splunk enable boot-start -user splunk
-bash: splunk: command not found
[root@splunk bin]# pwd
/opt/splunk/bin
[root@splunk bin]# splunk enable boot-start -user xxx
-bash: splunk: command not found
[root@splunk bin]# splunk
-bash: splunk: command not found
[root@splunk bin]#

any idea?

Do this to update your environment variables and put the splunk bin in your PATH:

export SPLUNK_HOME=/opt/splunk
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/splunk/bin
splunk status

Or you could do full path:

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk status

Or you could use . like this:

cd /opt/splunk/bin/
./splunk status

My CentOS server hosted on vmware virtual machine is still throwing error even after implementing what you have just mentioned. Please help.
