Run CLI command on mac to connect to splunk and retrieve result of query

[swathipillai]

How I can run python commands from my Mac to retrieve data from Splunk. I am going through the splunk documentation - https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/Admin/AbouttheCLI

Settings > Server settings does not show General settings to find installation path

1. How do we install Splunk on mac
2. Which path should we use to run CLI

There are two options

• use dmg package, which has some issues in Catalina (see xxx from answer how to install Splunk in catalina)
• use tgz package

In first option path is /Application/Splunk.app/.... and in second one where you hav3 installed it e.g. /opt/splunk..p
