We will be downloading a simple image in the png format from the internet. See the image below for better understanding:. Wget also allows users to download multiple files from different URLs. This can easily be done by the following command:. Once again, we can show this using an example. We will be downloading two HTML files from two different websites. For better understanding, please look at the image below:.
Here filename refers to the name that you want to address the file as. Using this, we can also change the type of the file. This is shown in the image below:. Wget also allows users to recursively download their files which is basically downloading all the files from the website under a single directory.
For more information regarding Wget, users can input the following command into the terminal to get access to all the Wget commands that appear to be available:.
Curl is another command line tool that can be used to download files from the internet. Unlike Wget, which is command line only, features of Curl are powered by libcurl which is a cross-platform URL transfer library. Curl not only allows downloading of files but can also be used for uploading and exchanging of requests with servers. However, Curl does not support recursive downloads which Wget offers. Similarly, like Wget, Curl comes pre-installed with most of the Linux Distributions.
This can simply be checked by running the following command:. Just like Wget, Curl has multiple features incorporated inside of it. The most basic is its ability to allow users to download files from a single URL from the internet. For better understanding, we will be downloading a simple image in the png format from the internet just like in the case of Wget.
Curl also allows users to change the filename and the type of the file. This can be done by the following command:. In the image above, we took a png file originally named pancake1. Just like in the case of Wget, Curl allows users to download multiple files using a number of URLs from the internet. For our example, we will use curl to download a jpg file and a png file from the internet. Results are shown in the image below:. Thank you very much the scripts!
It's not too difficult to interpret the repository format though. If you need to handle repositories whose Packages files aren't in canonical order Package before Filename , you can use the following AWK script instead:. There's no error-handling, that's left as an exercise for the reader. There's no signature verification either If you're running a reasonably recent version of Debian or other distribution using apt, you can use apt-get for this. Put the following settings in a file called apt-get.
With old versions of apt-get that lack the download command, you can use. I don't think what you're trying to achieve is in line with the idea of having repos as such. The idea being, you'd have to add the repo to the repolist, and then install from it, etc.
It is possible to download a package manually I do that quite often with RPM packages for Fedora , and install a package manually with the regular tools in my case dnf. It should be analogous with DEB packages. I'm sure the equivalent Debian tool will do the same.
So you'll save yourself downloading the package with a browser or with wget. As I understand it, you'r only interested in just downloading the packages. So in that case, I think using plain wget is the best way to go, etc. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

It takes the URL on the command line Or does apt-get --download-only install provide what you're after? I don't need these. What does this question have to do with pipes?
Are you going to run this on a Debian or Debian-based system, or are you looking for something that can be deployed on any unix-like system? Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Stephen Kitt Stephen Kitt k 44 44 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
Finally I solved with dget, although I wasn't happy to modify the system-wide repos. But, thank you very much script! This script doesn't work. Adam you need to save the two files, dlpkg and pkgfilename , in the same directory.
