hello~ everyone

I have a search head cluster,It has the following members: two search heads, a search captain, and a deployer. How do I install APP in a search cluster? Is the way to distribute bundles to install APP?
Is there a relevant documentation guide?

So first, 2 members doesnt meet the minimum requirements for a SHC. If you are using this in a lab environment, its ok, but in production this is not recommended.

Now, documentation. Have you seen docs.splunk.com? Start there.

More directly :
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.1/DistSearch/AboutSHC
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.1/DistSearch/SHCarchitecture

For deploying apps, you have to push from the Deployer -

HI xsstest,
only one additional detail: Splunk suggest to use at least three Search Heads and a Deployer in a cluster.
I didn't find where is this information in documentation, but I had a problema on a cluster and Splunk Support said to me that it isn't correct to have only two Search Heads in a cluster.
Bye.
