Wget is a free and open-source command-line utility primarily written in C that retrieves files from the Internet. Wget can operate in the background and complete downloads after the user logs off. There are many features and capabilities offered by wget, such as protocol support, non-interactive operation, robustness, recursive retrieval, proxy support, flexibility, and timestamping. In this blog post, we will install wget and demonstrate its usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing wget on Ubuntu 24.04 is a straightforward process that takes a couple of seconds or minutes, depending on the method used. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A server running Ubuntu 24.04 or any Linux OS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User privileges: root or non-root user with sudo privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update the system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start with the installation of <strong>wget<\/strong> we need to update the system packages to their latest versions available. To do that, execute the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt update -y &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install Wget from Default Repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wget by default is included in the Ubuntu 24.04 repository, so installation is only with one command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt install wget -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, check the version with the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget --version<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should receive a little bit longer output that prints everything about the wget installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# wget --version<br><strong>GNU Wget 1.21.4 built on linux-gnu.<\/strong><br><br>-cares +digest -gpgme +https +ipv6 +iri +large-file -metalink +nls<br>+ntlm +opie +psl +ssl\/openssl<br><br>Wgetrc:<br>    \/etc\/wgetrc (system)<br>Locale:<br>    \/usr\/share\/locale<br>Compile:<br>    gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSTEM_WGETRC=\"\/etc\/wgetrc\"<br>    -DLOCALEDIR=\"\/usr\/share\/locale\" -I. -I..\/..\/src -I..\/lib<br>    -I..\/..\/lib -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -DHAVE_LIBSSL -DNDEBUG<br>    -g -O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer<br>    -ffile-prefix-map=\/build\/wget-LWnKWI\/wget-1.21.4=. -flto=auto<br>    -ffat-lto-objects -fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection<br>    -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fcf-protection<br>    -fdebug-prefix-map=\/build\/wget-LWnKWI\/wget-1.21.4=\/usr\/src\/wget-1.21.4-1ubuntu4.1<br>    -DNO_SSLv2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Wall<br>Link:<br>    gcc -DHAVE_LIBSSL -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer<br>    -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer<br>    -ffile-prefix-map=\/build\/wget-LWnKWI\/wget-1.21.4=. -flto=auto<br>    -ffat-lto-objects -fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection<br>    -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fcf-protection<br>    -fdebug-prefix-map=\/build\/wget-LWnKWI\/wget-1.21.4=\/usr\/src\/wget-1.21.4-1ubuntu4.1<br>    -DNO_SSLv2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Wall -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions<br>    -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -lpcre2-8<br>    -luuid -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lpsl ..\/lib\/libgnu.a<br><br>Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.<br>License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later<br>.<br>This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.<br>There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.<br><br>Originally written by Hrvoje Niksic .<br>Please send bug reports and questions to .<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see on the top of the output is the version of the wget command, then the other info, such as the compilation for the specific configuration macros, including paths, optimization levels and security-hardening flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This heading was for installing wget from the default Ubuntu 24.04 repository, and that wget version was <strong>1.21.4<\/strong>. If we want to install the latest stable version or some other version, we can do that by installing from source, which will be explained in the next paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install Wget from Source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing Wget from source is used when we want to install a specific version of Wget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we proceed with the installation process, we will install the <strong>build essentials<\/strong> package group that provides the fundamental tools for compiling software, including gcc (the GNU C compiler), make, and other necessary utilities. To install it, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libgnutls28-dev gnutls-devel -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s install the latest stable wget 1.25.0 version. To do that, first, we need to download the wget installation file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -O http:\/\/ftp.gnu.org\/gnu\/wget\/wget-1.25.0.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once downloaded, extract the installation file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">tar -zxvf wget-1.25.0.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter in the extracted folder and configure the wget:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd wget-1.25.0\/<br><br>.\/configure<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the configuration is complete next step is the compilation process of the source code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo make<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, after the compilation, the last step is the installation process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo make install<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, make a symbolic link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo ln -s \/usr\/local\/bin\/wget \/usr\/bin\/wget<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the installed version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget --version<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should receive the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~\/wget-1.25.0# wget --version<br>GNU <strong>Wget 1.25.0<\/strong> built on linux-gnu.<br>    .<br>    .<br>    .<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Wget Commands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the usage and the most used wget commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>Basic Usage<\/strong><br><br>wget [options] URL<br><br><strong>Frequently Used Options &amp; Examples<\/strong><br><br>wget -O myfile.zip https:\/\/example.com\/file.zip  - Save the downloaded file using a custom filename.<br><br>wget -P downloads\/ https:\/\/example.com\/file.zip  - Save the file into a specified directory.<br><br>wget -c https:\/\/example.com\/largefile.iso          - Resume a partially downloaded file (if interrupted).<br><br>wget -q https:\/\/example.com\/file.zip             - Quiet mode (suppress output except errors).<br><br>wget -b https:\/\/example.com\/backup.tar.gz          - Run the download in the background.<br><br>wget -r https:\/\/example.com\/subdir\/              - Download recursively\u2014useful for websites or directories.<br><br>wget -r -np https:\/\/example.com\/subdir\/          - When recursive, don\u2019t ascend to parent directories.<br><br>wget --mirror https:\/\/example.com\/                 - Shortcut for mirroring a site: recursive, infinite depth, timestamping etc.<br><br>wget --wait=2 -r https:\/\/example.com\/dir\/          - Wait N seconds between retrievals (useful when scraping).<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More About the Wget Command<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about the wget command in details, you can execute the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">man wget<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, you will get a huge output and everything about the wget in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# man wget<br>WGET(1)                                                                       GNU Wget                                                                      WGET(1)<br><br>NAME<br>       Wget - The non-interactive network downloader.<br><br>SYNOPSIS<br>       wget [option]... [URL]...<br><br>DESCRIPTION<br>       GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web.  It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through<br>       HTTP proxies.<br><br>       Wget is non-interactive, meaning that it can work in the background, while the user is not logged on.  This allows you to start a retrieval and disconnect<br>       from the system, letting Wget finish the work.  By contrast, most of the Web browsers require constant user's presence, which can be a great hindrance when<br>       transferring a lot of data.<br><br>       Wget can follow links in HTML, XHTML, and CSS pages, to create local versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original<br>       site.  This is sometimes referred to as \"recursive downloading.\"  While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard (\/robots.txt).  Wget can be<br>       instructed to convert the links in downloaded files to point at the local files, for offline viewing.<br><br>       Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will keep retrying until<br>       the whole file has been retrieved.  If the server supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the download from where it left off.<br><br>OPTIONS<br>   Option Syntax<br>       Since Wget uses GNU getopt to process command-line arguments, every option has a long form along with the short one.  Long options are more convenient to<br>       remember, but take time to type.  You may freely mix different option styles, or specify options after the command-line arguments.  Thus you may write:<br><br>               wget -r --tries=10 http:\/\/fly.srk.fer.hr\/ -o log<br><br>       The space between the option accepting an argument and the argument may be omitted.  Instead of -o log you can write -olog.<br><br>       You may put several options that do not require arguments together, like:<br><br>               wget -drc <br><br>       This is completely equivalent to:<br><br>               wget -d -r -c <br><br>       Since the options can be specified after the arguments, you may terminate them with --.  So the following will try to download URL -x, reporting failure to<br>       log:<br>       .<br>       .<br>       .<br>       .<br>       .<br>       .<br>       .    <\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bringing it all together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it.
