wget command not working

[Canedje]

I do try to run next command:

Code: Select all

sudo wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/mt7601-3.18.11-v7-776.tar.gz

I do get the error :

Code: Select all

sudo: wget: command not found

What is going wrong?
it looks like the wget command is not known?
the /usr/bin/wget is not there?

I tried install wget:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install wget
Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar
Boom van vereisten wordt opgebouwd
De status informatie wordt gelezen... Klaar
wget is reeds de nieuwste versie.
0 pakketten opgewaardeerd, 0 pakketten nieuw geïnstalleerd, 0 te verwijderen en 4 niet opgewaardeerd.

But says its there allready

Try installing it with
sudo apt-get install wget

[Canedje]

Try installing it with
sudo apt-get install wget

I mjust did.
It already exist it says

[DougieLawson]

So what does
which wget
show?

What does
export | grep PATH
show?

[B.Goode]

Why is it necessary/desirable to execute this with sudo?

What is the result of the commands

Code: Select all

which wget
echo $PATH

[Canedje]

So what does
which wget
show?

What does
export | grep PATH
show?

which wget shows nothing
export | grep PATH sows:
declare -x PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"

What happens if you log out and log back in?

[Canedje]

What happens if you log out and log back in?

No change
wget is not in /usr/bin/
If I try to install it says it already exist
The command is not running

Is there a possibility to uninstall wget and try to install it again?

This worked!

Also

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --reinstall install wget

should have worked too.

I'm glad you got it fixed but it is very odd that it went missing. Be on the look out for other odd things on your Pi. Make sure you have changed the default password of the "pi" user, especially if the Pi is connected to the internet at all.
