Step 6 : Then you have to make a directory call temp/ through this command.

Make a Directory & Move into this or change diretory :
mkdir temp/
cd temp/

Step 7 : Here we will going to download a zip file through hosting website link through this command.

Download the Website link thourgh wget Command
