8.6. Installing wget

Downloading and running the LOCKSS Installer requires either curl or wget. Most typical Linux systems have at least one installed by default. You can check by typing curl --version or wget --version and verifying that the output is not an error message. This section describes how to install wget if necessary. (If you prefer to install curl, see Installing curl.)
