wget for Mac OS X

November 17, 2015June 19, 2006 - 1 minute read.

Get the source from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.9.tar.gz
Unpack the tarball: tar xzf wget-1.9.tar.gz
This creates a folder named wget-1.9. Change the working folder to it: cd wget-1.9/
Configure the build: ./configure
Build: make
Install: sudo make install
The wget binary should now be in your /usr/local/bin folder.

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.

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