Step 1: Unpack the software
Platform-specific installers come in both a package form and a tarball. The Linux build comes in three forms: RPM, deb and tarball. The FreeBSD installer and tarball are both .tgz files. 5.4-intel is the installer, i386 is the tarball.
Follow the instructions for your specific package or tarball.

rpm -i splunk-2.1-0.i386.rpm
Override the default installation directory /opt/splunk:

If you would like to verify the rpm package signature, you can find our GPG public key here.
