Hi guys,
I'm unable to find the link to download the Splunk community version.
I click on 'Free Splunk', but it doesn't lead to a download link,

Please help

Thanks a lot Kamlesh. Appreciate your assistance
When I click the link, it takes me to the page, but when I click on download it just takes me another page with info on Splunk but the download doesn't start & I don't get any other link for download.
Not sure if I'm missing something 😞

Hi @Julian1,
there isn't a downloadable Splunk Community version with different features than the Full version: you can download Splunk Enterprise that's a full version.
This version, after 60 days, becames a Free version, a full version without some features that you can see at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/software/features-comparison-chart.html.
Community version means that you cannot access the Splunk Support and, if you have problems, you can open a ticket only to the Community.

Ciao.
Giuseppe

Thanks a lot Giuseppe. Appreciate the help.
Sorry man - I'm still struggling. When I click on download the enterprise version, it doesn't download or present a download link. It just talks about the benefits of Splunk.
I don't know if something is being blocked on my side..

Hi @Julian1,
the download page uses cookies, is www.splunk.com enabled to use cookies in your browser?

Then, were you already logged in or not?, try to login and then to download,

Then you could try this link
https://www.splunk.com/bin/splunk/DownloadActivityServlet?architecture=x86_64&platform=windows&version=8.0.0&product=splunk&filename=splunk-8.0.0-1357bef0a7f6-x64-release.msi&wget=true
or this one wget https://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/splunk-enterprise/thank-you-enterprise.html#

Ciao.

There is an if your downlaod doesn't start click here link and also a wget command so try those. Also, if you google around the web, you can find direct download/wget links to bypass having to login.
