While that is all that you need to know to use wget for downloading files, there are many other commands that’ll enable you to control its usage and you can access them within your terminal in wget’s man page or online. r (or -recursive) and -np (or -no-parent) tells wget to follow links within the directory that you’ve specified. The -e robots=off flag tells wget to ignore restrictions in the robots.txt file which is good because it prevents abridged downloads. Downloading a directory # wget -e robots=off -r -np the wget command, -X to indicate the file path (unless you want to save the downloaded content to your current working directory), and the public link. Downloading a single file # wget -X path/to/py # brew install wgetĪs long as a file or directory’s URL is publicly accessible, you can download it and files can be downloaded singly or recursively when downloading directories. Next, install wget command-line download client.
Install Homebrew using the following command, it will also install Xcode’s command line tools if they aren’t already installed: # /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )" The bad news is that gcc and pip are generally not included (although many users may have installed them already). Don’t worry if you don’t have it installed, I’ve got you covered: The good news is that zlib is installed by default of OS X. The instructions for installing Homebrew can be found here.There are alternatives like Fink and MacPorts but I prefer using Homebrew. I could have straightaway told you the Homebrew way but you'd have missed some valuable lessons if I did. Homebrew is highly recommended for managing the UNIX packages on your Mac. Installing wget using Homebrew is as easy as doing this: $ brew install wget $ wget ĭid wget fail to install because of some dependencies? Maybe you wanna go a less hardcore but very easy way, and manage all the packages on your system using Homebrew instead. There you! Now you have wget installed on your Mac. Now open a terminal, cd to wget-1.13 directory, and do the following: $. Once you have downloaded the source, unarchive it using Archive Utility (just double-click the downloaded file to get a new folder which looks like wget-1.13). The latest version as of writing this post is wget-1.13.tar.gz. Get the wget source from, scroll down for the latest version. We'll have to use our browser to download that since we don't have wget yet. The first step, of course, is downloading the wget source code. Before that make sure you have a C/C++ compiler on your system, if you have XCode, you are all set and ready. My only quibble is that you do need to have a guide open at the same time since it's not entirely clear what's happening at each step. Getting wget on Mac OS X is pretty easy, so worry not. Once to jailbreak 5.0.2 using Mac OS X 10.5 on my eMac and now to jailbreak 5.3 using Windows 8.1. wget is a very useful tool and is used for downloading installation files among other stuff it ought to be there on your Mac. Ok, so Mac is cool and stuff, but it doesn't come with wget by default, which in my opinion sucks.
