8.7. Installing Wget

Downloading the LOCKSS Installer requires Curl, Wget or HTTPie. Most typical Linux systems have at least one installed by default. You can check by typing curl --version, wget --version or http --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 Wget if necessary.
