What's in this manual
Use the Installation Manual to learn how to install Splunk Enterprise.
In this manual, you can find:
- System requirements
- Licensing information
- Procedures for installing
- Procedures for upgrading from a previous version
...and more.
Note: If you want to install the Splunk universal forwarder, read "Universal forwarder deployment overview" in the Forwarding Data Manual. Unlike Splunk heavy and light forwarders, which are full Splunk Enterprise instances with some features changed or disabled, the universal forwarder is an entirely separate executable, with its own set of installation procedures. For an introduction to forwarders, see "About forwarding and receiving".
