Transform Services install on community 7.4

[atTheBeach]

I'm trying to evaluate ACS Community 7.4 with a zip install, but can't install the Transform Services. There seems to be a lot of contradictory information and broken links out there:

1. The community install zip instructions here state that "Community users can utilize alfresco-transform-core-aio Spring Boot app for installing transformation services". However, the link is broken, because the alfresco-transform-core page at github no longer includes alfresco-transform-core-aio
2. The docs for Alfresco Transform Service say that you should "Browse to Hyland Community and download alfresco-transform-service-distribution-3.0.x.zip". However, "browse to Hyland Community" is (currently?) impossible and, even if this file exists, I suspect that it wouldn't work for a community install
3. Abhinav's blog seems to be the best source of information, and says that only the transform core AIO jar is required. This link works, but what even is "artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus"? Is it official? It's not browsable, so how do I get a current version? Note that the links in Abhinav's suggestion to check out the github repo for the "all-in-one" project are broken - this is the same link for (1) above.

Thanks.

Despite ZIP installation is currently discouraged and it's even worse when the goal is to evaluate the platform, the source of truth for Alfresco ZIP Distribution files is https://nexus.alfresco.com/nexus/#welcome

You can search "alfresco-transform-core-aio" and you'll find required JAR file to run locally Transform Core for Alfresco Community Edition:

Thanks - I didn't know about the Nexus search. It's all working now.
