Before you install

Before you install Splunk, be sure to review the system requirements and ensure that you've downloaded the right installation package for your system from www.splunk.com/download.

If you're installing Splunk on a Windows system, make sure that any anti-virus software is turned off. You can enable it again after the install is done, but be sure to configure it so that it doesn't attempt to scan either the Splunk installation directory, or any file accesses by Splunk processes (basically, any process that begins with "splunk".)

If you're upgrading from an earlier version of Splunk, review the information in "About upgrading to 4.3: READ THIS FIRST" before proceeding.
