Linux wget Primer Tutorial
The Linux (or unix) command wget is a powerful command line tool, that, if installed, may help you garner data (for example, website files) by means of data scraping (or screen scraping, or, as in our case, web scraping) from the web, within the Linux command line environment. The command wget may cause you déjà vu because of the recent cURL tutorial, which you can compare and contrast to with Linux cURL Primer Tutorial below.
You link this to batch processing ideas and a lot of programmer mouth watering will result … sometimes not a pretty sight … and it is better to have the watermelon at the ready immediately, though even there might be some ettiquette rules that don’t cover the seeds … am sure Demtel sell a seed remover … but one digresses. Unfortunately, this will just have to be one of those graphs called “para” … chortle, chortle.
Read more about the GNU operating system, and so know more about wget, here. Once you newly install wget, and you have never used it before please type wget –help before you start, because, as with all powerful tools, it may do something unexpected with misuse. As you can see with some of the output of wget –help in the tutorial picture, up the top, there are a LOT of options and switches.
If your déjà vu has not been satisfied above (or below, with cURL), maybe it is because you remember all this from a movie, (and it wasn’t when Bobby skipped all those series on Dallas after coming out of the shower) … try this.
Relevant Linux cURL Primer Tutorial is presented below.

Link to some programming Mac Terminal Bash script file you could call curl_as_a_cucumber.sh as you see fit, to try what the tutorial does (which is to extract the HTML element id= values from a webpage), or if you need advice on installing cURL … try this.
