We installed Splunk about 1 month ago and need to update to the latest version. I am fairly new at my job and am having issues updating the application. I downloaded the splunk6.1.4.rpm
file from Splunk's download page, but how do I update the application? I tried:
sudo rpm -Uvh splunk6.1.4.rpm //yes I did change the file name
this gave me error when I ran it from my home directory and from /opt/splunk
. Any ideas or a point in the right direction for documentation would be great.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
You don't (shouldn't) use RPM on Ubuntu. Use the Debian package and dpkg
/apt
.

Thanks for the help. I have been working in Linux for 1 month so far and am still learning all of these little things.
Hi @jphilipsen
Have you read through the documentation on How to Upgrade Splunk?
