#homebrew; #mac; #wget; How to install wget on your Mac #. Ok, so Mac is cool and stuff, but it doesn't come with wget by default, which in my opinion sucks.wget is a very useful tool and is used for downloading installation files among other stuff; it ought to be there on your Mac. I update mac to Sierra, 10.12.3. My wget stop working. When I tried to install by typing. Brew install wget -with-libressl I got the following warning. Warning: wget-1.19.1 already installed, it's just not linked. Then tried to unsintall by typing. Brew uninstall wget -with-libressl Then I reinstalled by typing. Brew install wget. Wget is a small program that can download files and folders to your computer through Terminal. There is already program similar to wget on your Mac, it is called curl. Although they do the same task, I prefer wget.
| curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.17.tar.gz |
| tar -xzf wget-1.17.tar.gz |
| cd wget-1.17 |
| ./configure --with-ssl=openssl |
| ./configure --with-ssl=openssl --with-libssl-prefix=/usr/local/ssl |
| make |
| sudo make install |
| wget --help |
| cd .. && rm -rf wget* |
