What is the meaning of "install count" for my app in Splunkbase?

[wnguyen]

There is an install count and download count listed on the details page of my app. What is the install count for my app?

Install count is based on Splunk instances pinging home with information about installed apps. The install count is per unique Splunk instance with app and valid release installed.
