Splunk Eventgen

I am new to Splunk. I tried to install SA_Eventgen app. When I went to apps directory (/opt/slunk/etc/apps/SA_Eventgen/local), I get permission denied. Can anyone explained it to me please? I could not find the tutorial video for the eventgen app either, if someone know where can I find a tutorial session?

Thank a lot.

Do you know why I am not allowed to access the local directory for that app?
