Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install SPLUNK on Linux and I can not. I follow the instructions.
Attached picture - I would be happy to help. Maybe the wrong command? I do not know or understand.

Hi David,

typing "dow(n)loads" in a shell doesn't get you anywhere.

  1. You need to download splunk enterprise from splunk.com using your free splunk.com account.
  2. Then you need to navigate to the directory you saved the file using the cd command.
  3. Untar the file using tar xvzf splunk-7.0.1.......
  4. After that just follow the instructions here http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/Installation/InstallonLinux

But before you start, please consider typing linux beginner tutorial into google and try one of them.
