Can't see the Unix and Linux app after installing on indexer; keep being prompted to configure in Splunk Web

Why can't I see the Splunk App for Unix and Linux in Splunk Web?

I installed the add-on to my deployment clients, and am trying to view the data with the app installed on my indexer. The installation appears to go okay and am prompted in Splunk Web to configure the app for the first time. However, that is all I'm able to view from the app, the configuration screen, not pretty graphs. 🙂 I've restarted my indexer several times, and I've confirmed that the universal forwarders (deployment clients) are sending data to the indexer, i.e., I can query the index ("os" in this case) directly and see data.

D'oh! Yes, I made the mistake; I thought I had installed the app on the indexer when I had only installed the add-on. Things are working as expected now, after installing the actual app.
