Question

How do I install Splunk on windows? Also, is it a good idea or should I just run it on Linux?

Answer 1

Hi haseeb, you can install Splunk Enterprise for windows. I personally feel its not a good idea to run it on Windows, Linux is a better option. Follow these steps if you still want to go for Windows

Install the .msi file from the official website

Start the installer by double-clicking on it. (splunk.msi)

Add your user name and password which was prompted while downloading.

Start installing

Click on Finish and you're done :)

You'll find an icon on the Desktop, go ahead and start using Splunk.
