Unable to initialize modular input "TA-Akamai_SIEM" defined inside the app "Splunk_TA_siem_connector": Introspecting scheme=TA-Akamai_SIEM: Unable to run "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_siem_connector/bin/TA-Akamai_SIEM.sh --scheme": child failed to start: Permission denied

Why am I getting this error? Please, can anyone explain? I am running this on Splunk Enterprise 6.6.2 SH/IDX/HF

Well the Permission denied might mean either that .sh has wrong permissions or the owner is not the user running Splunk.

Can you re-check those?
