Wget is the non-interactive network downloader which is used to download files from the server even when the user has not logged on to the system and it can work in the background without hindering the current process.

How Do I Run Wget? To run wget, you need to download the tool for your computer. Once the file as finished downloaded, you should open your computer's command prompt app and run wget to see whether the installation has been successful.

It's used by typing wget followed by the URL of the file you want to download, for example wget [options] http://example.com/file.txt . In this example, we use the wget command to download a file named 'file. txt' from a website 'example.com'. The command fetches the file and saves it in your current directory.
