Installing "wget" on OSX

The Apple OS X 10.5 comes with "curl", but most people prefer using wget when using Terminal. Here is an easy way to build and install wget;

Requirements:

• First things first ;-) - Download and Install Apple's Xcode Developer Tools

Downloads:

• dowload the source code for GNU wget from http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

Installation:

• Unzip / Extract the download in to a directory
  (could be on the desktop)
• cd /Users/techdust/Desktop/wget-1.2
  (go to the specific directory)
• ./configure
  (configure the source code for your system - and into the default location -/usr/local/bin-)
• make
  (type "make" to build wget binaries)
• sudo make install
  (install binaries by typing "sudo make install")

You're all done. To run wget just restart your terminal session and type in "wget".
