IP Reputation app directory structure error.

I recently tried to install the ip reputation application to spunk enterprise. i had downloaded the .tgz file from splunkbase and tried to install by uploading to the file. i received the following error.

"There was an error processing the upload.Invalid app contents: archive contains more than one immediate subdirectory: and ipreputation"

so i extracted the file and checked that there was a another folder called PaxHeader as well as a file ._ipreputation under the ipreputation main directory. when i moved this file and folder into the ipreputation folder,the app seemed to be installed. But the threatscore was not displayed eventhough i had entered the key in the .py file. Please advise. I had re downloaded and checked for the MD5 checksum, it seems to be alright. but the app directory structure seems to have an error.

hey
You can't install this app via the GUI as the tgz file contains multiple apps (dependencies). You'll need to extract the tgz file within /opt/splunk/etc/apps (if not using a cluster) and restart splunk.

I hope this helps you!
