  Hey there @brannigandraic,

  BuddyPress is actually a plugin and plugins are only available with a self hosted WordPress.ORG site. You’ll have to find a host and download the software in order to install BuddyPress.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are totally seperate entities and third party themes and plugins are not available on WordPress.com.

  Read this article for more on the differences between the two.

  Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!
