I am trying to download the linux installer to my VM but using the wget command just results in the following error:

```auto
wget https://files.inductiveautomation.com/release/ia/build8.0.2-
rc1/20190520-1636/Ignition-8.0.2-rc1-linux-x64-installer.run

```

I’m assuming this is due to the contact form on the website, but is there a way to get around it?  
I can download the nightly no problem, but the stable and early access both don’t work.

See Kevin's post here:

> I was trying to install Ignition on a headless Linux server today and ran into a problem where I couldn’t download the installation file. My guess is that the download link I copied to use with “wget” was rejected since it wasn’t being selected from the browser the got the link. Which is fine and all, but it was a hassle to download the installation file and then upload it to my google drive and download it from the the google drive onto the headless server. Is there a direct way to download …
