What is the error that you are getting? Was the file downloaded correctly?

Try running the following command.
wget -O splunkforwarder-7.0.2-03bbabbd5c0f-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm 'https://www.splunk.com/bin/splunk/DownloadActivityServlet?architecture=x86_64&platform=linux&version=7.0.2&product=universalforwarder&filename=splunkforwarder-7.0.2-03bbabbd5c0f-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm&wget=true'

What version of linux are you using and is it 32-bit server or 64-bit?

Then try using rpm package for 32 bit , that should work.

Hi,

Can you try :

sudo rpm -ivh /opt/splunk-6.5.3-36937ad027d4-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm --force

Also if this doesn't work try installing tar file instead rpm.
