Splunk first setup failure

[anshulfk]

Hi,
I am getting following error while trying to install Splunk.

~/Downloads/splunk/bin:ruby-2.3.1@marketplace: [14:27:02]$ pwd
/Users/anshulgoyal/Downloads/splunk/bin

~/Downloads/splunk/bin:ruby-2.3.1@marketplace: [14:27:03]$ ./splunk start --accept-license
This appears to be your first time running this version of Splunk.

Please help me on this, as I unable to proceed further in this course because of this issue.
Here is the Splunk tar file name(and its version) and its checksum.

~/Downloads/splunk/bin:ruby-2.3.1@marketplace: [14:31:28]$ cksum ~/Downloads/splunk-6.2.2-255606-darwin-64.tgz

I also checked answers/585512/importerror-symbol-not-found-inflatevalidate-when.html, but that did not fix my problem.

~/Downloads/splunk/bin:ruby-2.3.1@marketplace: [14:31:31]$  sudo rm /opt/splunk/lib/libz.1.dylib

Thanks,

PS: not much aware of splunk products, so I have selected splunk light.

If your downloading Splunk to ~/Downloads/splunk/ then why are you deleting stuff in opt/splunk?

What problem are you facing? Splunk not installing or starting?

[anshulfk]

I am not sure if it is installing or starting. I assume on first 'start' it 'installs' and that is failing.
I have been able to download the tar file and then unzip it.

Thanks, for the hint. I have been able to move past this error. Now I am facing another error.

Hi, as I see you are trying to install Splunk on MacOS right?

You should follow these steps:
