I have installed splunk app for Bigfix from bigfix base, but when I run one of the python script manually to test for example python actions.py, i get the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "actions.py", line 8, in
from bigfix import query_runner
File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/bigfix/bin/../lib/bigfix/query_runner.py", line 26, in
from bigfix import web_reports_config
File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/bigfix/bin/../lib/bigfix/web_reports_config.py", line 1, in
import splunk.clilib.cli_common
ImportError: No module named splunk.clilib.cli_common

Please run scripts using Splunk in-build python command as follows:

--- $SPLUK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd python $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/bigfix/bin/<script_name>.py
