Both OSX Splunk installers fail

eyeLikeCarrots — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 01:45:15 GMT

Downloaded the latest splunk installers. Didn't get past unarchiving,

DMG installer failed with "The following disc images couldn't be opened: Reason: not recognised"
Tarball installer - Archive utility: Error 1 Operating not permitted.

Running at root on 10.6.8 fully patched.

You should probably download again, check your connection, and verify the downloads with the md5. A link to get the md5 file will be on the post-download web page.

Thankyou gkanapathy, the md5 of the file I downloaded does indeed appear to be incorrect

I used Chrome to download it but I am confused as to why I am not getting the correct file. This is the first time I have had a problem with a downloaded file not matching md5

I will try a different browser or perhaps wget or ftp

Ok - thanks to the advice of gkanapathy I was able to get it installed after downloading the installer for OSX with wget and the md5 matched.

Thankyou very much
