8.7. Installing Curl

Downloading the LOCKSS Installer and Running the LOCKSS Installer require Curl or Wget. Most typical Linux systems have at least one installed by default. You can check by typing curl --version and wget --version at the command line and verifying that at least one of them outputs a valid version message (meaning the corresponding software is installed). This section describes how to install Curl if necessary.
