hi splunkers
i have few question regarding the installation of splunk as non root users
1 --> is it mandatory to use rpm file to install splunk as different user??
2 --> why can't we use tar file for such installation.?
3 --> when am trying to install splunk in my own created directory using splunk rpm file, am using the following command
**rpm -i --prefix=/apps/ splunkforwarder-6.4.2-00f5bb3fa822-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm**
it is giving me the following output
**warning: splunkforwarder-6.4.2-00f5bb3fa822-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 653fb112: NOKEY
package splunkforwarder-6.4.2-00f5bb3fa822.x86_64 is already installed**
so i ran the other command **rpm -ql splunkforwarder-6.4.2-00f5bb3fa822-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm** to check where the package is installed and the output is **package splunkforwarder-6.4.2-00f5bb3fa822-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm is not installed**
can you please point me where i am doing mistake??
