A good place to start, would be to look at the OS specific apps which have been created. For example there is the Windows App:

and there is also the Nix App:

http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22314/splunk-for-unix-and-linux

But as martin_mueller says the documentation should be read, as this is very good for getting you on the move in the right direction.

Cheers,

That's a very very broad question. I suggest either reading the docs (at docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk or coming up with a more specific question.
