Red Hat is pay ware. Have you paid for it? Red Hat supports its paying customers. If not, you are much better off using a distro that is free. CentOS is almost the same as Red Hat and is free to use. There are lots of other choices.
please i want to download red hat 7 but i didn t have linked any solution.
Since you need a 'linked solution', did you try visting Red Hat's website??? That's where you would download Red Hat, and where you would also read about their terms of service. Since you found THIS site with an Internet search, why couldn't you find Red Hat's website?
If you need to learn about it for career purposes, or just want a very reliable distro with very long-term support (like me), then you need CentOS. But it does need more work to install and set up than most other distros.
If you just want to try Linux and Red Hat is the only one you've heard of, then try something that's aimed at the home user. If you go here https://linuxmint.com/documentation.php
you can find an Installation Guide and User Guides for two different versions of Linux Mint, and a link to a download.
If you have a Red Hat subscription, you can download ISO image files of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installation DVD from the Red Hat Customer Portal. If you do not have a subscription, either purchase one or obtain a free evaluation subscription from the Software.
One can get a no cost developer subscription for Red Had Enterprise Linux. One needs to keep in mind though that is licensed for development use only. You can use it as your OS choice on your machines you own, but you cannot use it in a business for instance.
Another thing to know is it forces you to use the Server version of the distro. It takes a bit more work to set up and use as a desktop OS than say the Workstation version does. The reason they make you use the Server variant is because the Server variant is a super-set of all the other variants, has access to all the repositories and all the capabilities of the other versions.
When setting it up, you will need to select the Server with GUI installation option on the left, then on the right select the other software you want to install. Once it is installed, you can add many different packages and software of your own choice.
