Wget is a network downloader utility that is not included by default on macOS. However, you can install it using a package manager like Homebrew.
Here are the steps to install wget on macOS using Homebrew:
- Install Homebrew if you don’t already have it installed. You can install it by running the following command in the terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
- Install wget using Homebrew by running the following command in the terminal:
brew install wget
- Verify that wget is installed by running the following command in the terminal:
wget --version
This will install wget on your macOS system, and you can use it to download files from the internet using the terminal. Wget is a powerful tool for downloading files, and it supports a variety of options for controlling how files are downloaded, including resuming interrupted downloads, limiting the download speed, and more.
