Installing wget for Mac [closed]

Tags:

vim

wget

I was installing wget 1.13 after downloading it from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/. I followed the instructions laid here http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/howto-install-wget-for-mac-os-x/. A problem arose when I was running ./configure. The output I received in the terminal was

error: --with-ssl was given, but GNUTLS is not available

Hence, I was unable to carry on to

make
make install

Anyone who has an idea what i am missing here?

All assistance are greatly appreciated.

I'm running on Mac 10.7.3, if it helps.

Thank you.

Why Wget is not working on Mac?

If you get the -bash: wget: command not found error on Mac, Linux or Windows, it means that the wget GNU is either not installed or does not work properly. Go back and make sure that you installed wget properly.

Is Wget installed on Mac by default?

While wget doesn't ship with macOS, you can download and install it using Homebrew – the best Mac package manager available.

I would suggest using Homebrew.

It's a very simple and easy install and once it's done, you can just type brew install wget and it does everything automatically for you.
