Splunk add on installation using CLI

[nagadaksesh1]

Hi Everyone, 

Can some one please guide to fix an issue on the below error while installing addon using cli. Used below command to install add on. Error is parameters must be in the form '-parameter value'

./splunk install app splunk-add-on-for-unix-and-linux_701.tar /home/

The command should be just this:

./splunk install app splunk-add-on-for-unix-and-linux_701.tar

the /home/ is triggering the error.

Other alternative is to just untar the app into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
