do you have a running and working Splunk Enterprise environment in use before you start installing that app?

Are you using e.g. splunk user (user which are running splunkd and own those files) and have admin rights?

And have you check that in this filesystem is enough free space to install it?

Can you check that you could access this directory /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/bundle_tmp/ (or at least it’s parent) as a cli use4 which you are using to install that app. Use like cd to this directory. Then check that user have also write access to this directory.

Is the files/directory owned by user which you get when running this?

ps -C splunkd -o euser,ruser,suser,fuser,group,egroup,rgroup,sgroup,f,start,args,label

Have this user write access to this directory? Can you create a file and directory on this directory as this user? Please test it as there could be some issues on FS level and the file system could be a read only mode!

Issue has been resolved, after re downloading the ES installation package.
