    The idea that the current version of Splunk create a user in your system named splunk with home directory is /opt/splunk

    Thus :

    1. Log-in as splunk :

    sudo su - splunk;

    2. Check the current directory after log-in :

      pwd;
  # must be : /opt/splunk , if so , proceed

    3. Start the daemon :

       bin/splunk start
   # you will asked to agree the license =>  agree if you want to start daemon

    4. Waiting for the following message :

    Waiting for web server at http://127.0.0.1:8000 to be available.. Done

    The Splunk web interface is at http://localhost:8000
