I am trying to install splunk add-on and when i am running the setup.sh command by using
export SPLUNK_HOME=/opt/splunk
cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix
. ./setup.sh
I get
Login failed
Login Failed
so i seen some document and answer and with reference to that i get to know that i have to use
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/bin/setup.sh
but it also give me error Syntax error: "(" unexpected i stucked here for so long and cant figure out the way out of it
So tell me that am i doing things right and what else i have to do to configure it.

I don't have this app, but you could try, before you run setup.sh, that you are logged in into splunk.
You could do that this way

# splunk login -auth ${logname}:${mypwd}

On a Test system you could take the admin account, on a productive system you better take a low priv user before using an admin user.

To logout on the shell use this

# splunk logout
