There is already program similar to wget on your Mac, it is called curl.Īlthough they do the same task, I prefer wget. Wget is a small program that can download files and folders to your computer through Terminal. This post is about one widely used tool on UNIX and Linux systems, wget. Hey I like using Terminal, it is usually much more efficient and a lot quicker then the normal methods you use on your Mac. Curl could be a suitable replacement, but frequently scripts are written with wget, and it can be difficult and time-consuming to convert them to using curl. How to install wget in Mac OS X wget is a really handy command line utility, but unfortunately not included in OS X.
