Download via Console

[save_jeff]

Hi,

It might be a stupid question that is solved realy easy, but it is terrible hard to find somthing ober google that has "download" in it.

So my question is: how can i download files from the internet via a simple console line/comand ?

Depends on Operating System, downloads are from repositories in Linux for the majority of compatible software via package managers

Debian uses apt-get: http://www.aboutlinux.info/2005/12/conc ... r-new.html

Arch Linux uses pacman: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman

thx, but i ment download an image or an .img file. like this link:
http://download.udk.com/UDKInstall-2013-02-BETA2.exe

in this case it is a 1,9 GB .exe file. Because i dont want to use my pc for it, i though "y not download this with the raspberry pi turn the desktop pc of and tranfer it later to the desktop pc when it is doen downloading


wasnt there a command called "clone" ?

wget? The non-interactive network downloader.

See http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?wget

wget is the command to download files from the internet in Linux (it is installed by default in Raspbian).

Example:

wget http://download.udk.com/UDKInstall-2013-02-BETA2.exe
