Help Please! Couldn't determine $SPLUNK_HOME or $SPLUNK_ETC;

[jcal]

I've been getting this error:

./splunk add monitor /var/log/*log
ERROR: Couldn't determine $SPLUNK_HOME or $SPLUNK_ETC; perhaps one should be set in environment

I have the ff structure for reference:

/opt/splunk/bin(no splunk executable file)
/opt/splunkforwarder/splunk.exe

Add SPLUNK_HOME = /opt/splunkforwarder to your bashrc file.
