wget for Mac OS X

  1. Get the source from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.9.tar.gz
  2. Unpack the tarball:
    tar xzf wget-1.9.tar.gz
  3. This creates a folder named
    wget-1.9

    . Change the working folder to it:

    cd wget-1.9/
  4. Configure the build:
    ./configure
  5. Build:
    make
  6. Install:
    sudo make install
  7. The
    wget

    binary should now be in your /usr/local/bin folder.

    Good tip. Wget is also available through DarwinPorts.

    Well I wouldn’t say I’ve had much experience with it period… I just used it to install wget so far :)

    I have heard good things about it … Also check out the Gentoo of OS X that has worked pretty good for me when I tested it.
