All Apps and Add-ons

Documentation clarity (Python for Scientific Computing)

Some feedback on this TA, I believe that the documentation listed on Splunkbase is inadequate and it should list at the minimum the destination installation locations.

There is some ambiguity on where it should go, e.g. SH only? I think as an official Splunk support app it could be clearer and have a readme docs page to make it straight-forward. One might read it that this is required on the endpoint (computer) interacting with Splunk else why mention the arch type for example.

@PickleRick @gcusello  Thanks for responding, I have installed it on the SHC but my real purpose of raising this ticket is to suggest to the dev team that the documentation is better. It should be far better written and have a docs page really. 

I'll accept these as answers but please improve the docs (if you're listening).

This is a "search app" it makes no sense to install it anywhere else.

Also, quoting the Splunkbase description:

"This add-on is available for Linux (64-bit), Windows (64-bit) and Mac. Make sure you install the appropriate one for your Splunk deployment."

Notice the "appropriate for your Splunk deployment", not "for your endpoint".
