I am trying helloworld app from BlogProjects/splunk-custom-search-command-python/hello_world at master · CptOfEvilMinions/BlogProjec.... Compressed and  Installed it from file (hello_world.spl). Then restarted Splunk...

But when trying "index="zeek" sourcetype="bro:conn:json" | helloworld" getting Unknown search command 'helloworld'.
