Hi,

This typically occurs when the required user and group accounts are not pre-configured or the installation script lacks the necessary permissions to create them.

groupadd splunk
useradd -m -g splunk splunk

Verify permissions:
Ensure that the user running the Splunk installation has the necessary permissions to create or modify system users and groups, or that the 'splunk' group and user already exist with appropriate permissions.

After creating the user and group, attempt the Splunk installation again

Regards

Saravanan
