Install wget on a Linux system using the appropriate package manager (yum or apt). (Provide the command used)

To install wget on a Linux system, use the appropriate package manager based on your distribution:

1. Debian/Ubuntu (APT - apt-get)

bash

Copy

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wget -y

• sudo apt-get update → Updates the package list.

• sudo apt-get install wget -y → Installs wget automatically (-y skips confirmation).

• Verify Installation

  After installation, check if wget works:

  bash

  Copy

    wget --version
  

  Expected output:

  Copy

    GNU Wget 1.21.x ...
  

  Key Notes

  • Use sudo for admin privileges.

  • -y avoids manual confirmation (useful in scripts).
