Splunk forwarder on MacOS

Trying to install the splunk forwarder credentials is posing an issue on my system. The directions tell me to use a command that has ./splunk as part of the argument but terminal does not recognize that location. Are these credentials supposed to match their cloud component for the same ones that access the instances? The directions are not clear, they simply state to change the default. Also would like to see explicit uninstall commands as well.

./splunk is "short-hand" for the splunk executable.
(more accurately $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk)

On Unix, this is by default /opt/splunk/bin/splunk
On Windows it is c:\program files\splunk\bin\splunk
On MacOS it is /Applications/splunk/bin/splunk

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
