Wget (short for &#8220;World Wide Web get&#8221;) is an open-source command-line utility used for retrieving content and files from web servers. It is part of the GNU Project and is designed for non-interactive use, meaning it can operate in the background without user intervention. There are many features offered by Wget, such as recursive download, Robustness, non-interactive operation, bandwidth control, different protocol support, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time required to install Wget depends on how we will use it.

To install it, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install wget -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we&#8217;ve installed it, check the wget version with the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget -V<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, you should get output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:\/opt# wget -V<br>GNU Wget 1.25.0 built on linux-gnu.<br><br>-cares +digest -gpgme +https +ipv6 +iri +large-file -metalink +nls <br>+ntlm +opie +psl +ssl\/gnutls <br><br>Wgetrc: <br>    \/etc\/wgetrc (system)<br>Locale: <br>    \/usr\/share\/locale <br>Compile: <br>    .<br>    .<br>    .<br>    .<br>    .<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-installing-wget-from-source\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installing-Wget-from-source\"><\/span>Installing Wget from source<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building from source on Linux is a process where users compile human-readable code into machine-executable binaries directly on their own systems. While most modern Linux distributions provide pre-built binary packages, building from source remains a vital practice for several reasons, including hardware optimization, access to specific or latest versions not available in the repository, customization and control, security, and auditing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, we will install some dependencies necessary for the compilation process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install gettext curl tar build-essential libssl-dev -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, we should download and install the latest stable version of the next-generation Wget, Wget2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To download the wget2 source code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -O https:\/\/ftp.gnu.org\/gnu\/wget\/wget2-2.1.0.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once downloaded, extract the file and enter it into the wget directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">tar xvf wget2-2.1.0.tar.gz<br><br>cd wget2-2.1.0\/<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterward, we should configure the source code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">.\/configure<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compile the source code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">make<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, install the compiled wget executable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">make install<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you&#8217;ve completed this process, we need to make a symbolic link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ln -s \/usr\/local\/bin\/wget2 \/usr\/bin\/wget2<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check the installed wget version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget -V<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>GNU Wget2 2.1.0<\/strong> - multithreaded metalink\/file\/website downloader<br><br>+digest +https +ssl\/openssl +ipv6 +iri +large-file +nls -ntlm -opie -psl -hsts<br>+iconv -idn -zlib -lzma -brotlidec -zstd -bzip2 -lzip -http2 -gpgme<br><br>Copyright (C) 2012-2015 Tim Ruehsen<br>Copyright (C) 2015-2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.<br><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>Please send bug reports and questions to .<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-useful-wget-commands\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Useful-Wget-commands\"><\/span>Useful Wget commands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">1.
