FreeBSD Install wget Utility To Download Files From Internet

To install the wget utility on a FreeBSD system, you can use the pkg command.

wget is not installed by default on a FreeBSD system, but it is available in the FreeBSD package repository.

To install wget, you can use the following command:

pkg install wget

This will install the wget utility on the system.

You can find more information about the pkg command and its options in the pkg documentation or by running the pkg help command.

Alternatively, you can use the portmaster or portupgrade utility to install wget from the FreeBSD ports collection.

For example, to install wget with portmaster, you can use the following command:

portmaster net/wget

This will install wget from the FreeBSD ports collection with portmaster.

You can find more information about the portmaster and portupgrade utilities in the FreeBSD documentation or by searching online.

Once wget is installed, you can use it to download files from the internet.

For example, to download the file http://example.com/myfile.txt using wget, you can use the following command:

wget http://example.com/myfile.txt

This will download the file myfile.txt from the website http://example.com/ and save it in the current directory.

You can find more information about the wget command and its options in the wget documentation or by running the wget --help command.
