I found the answer. I am currently using Splunk 8.1 and it looks like the Splunk's Packaging toolkit is built into it. If you go into the Splunk Bin folder you can issue Slim commands from there. For Example, C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin>slim
usage: slim [-v] [-h] [--debug] [--quiet]
{config,describe,generate-manifest,package,partition,validate,update-installation}
...
execute a packaging toolkit command
options:
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug save debugging information
--quiet suppress all messages except error messages
slim commands:
{config,describe,generate-manifest,package,partition,validate,update-installation}
config get, set, or unset user or system options
describe describe an app and its dependencies
generate-manifest create a new or updated app manifest
package make an app source package for distribution
partition split an app source package into a set of targeted
deployment packages
validate verify an app and its dependencies
update-installation
perform an update action on an installation graph Which is exactly the same thing as the Splunk Packaging tool kit. To package an app here just issue the following: slim package "C:\Users\MyAppDirectory" In conclusion, Splunk's Packaging Toolkit is already built into Splunk.
