At the end of the installation I got this in a terminal window:

***************************************************

This appears to be your first time running this version of Splunk.

 

Splunk software must create an administrator account during startup. Otherwise, you cannot log in.

Create credentials for the administrator account.

Characters do not appear on the screen when you type in credentials.

 

Please enter an administrator username: /bin/echo

Usernames cannot contain '/' or space characters

***************************************************

Any ideas?

Hi

you have chosen a user name which contains / or space like “domain/user foo”. You should just try again with name like “admin”.
