I currently have the M1 mac & I have recently downloaded Parallels to utilize Ubuntu. I'm in the process of of installing splunk, but anytime I use these two commands:

 

sudo /opt/splunk/bin/splunk enable boot-start
sudo /opt/splunk/bin/splunk start --accept-license

 

 I receive this error

 

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk: 9: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

 

Also when i run the uname  -a command. this is the output:

 

Linux ubuntu-linux-20-04-desktop 5.4.0-66-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 27 22:56:23 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

 Has anyone had this problem? How can i resolve this?
