How can install a non-current version of an app to Splunk? Or how to by pass this message to upload this app manually?

Hello,

I am using the Splunk Victoria experience and am attempting to install the n-1 version of an app to Splunk search head. When uploading the file for installation, i receive the following error. 

This app is available for installation directly from Splunkbase. To install this app, use the App Browser page in Splunk Web.

My question is how can install a non-current version of an app to Splunk? Or how to by pass this message to upload this app manually? 

For Reference i am installing the 8.5.0 version of "Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux", but this will need to be done for multiple apps. 

Thank you

Hi @williamyoung,

it should be better to use the last version of apps, but if you need to maintain an old version, you can ask this to Splunk Cloud Support.

Ciao.
