Topic: [solved] wget and GET

Hello,

When I was on ubuntu, I used the GET command instead of wget. With statler I don't find the GET command and don't know how to install it sad

For example, this command will get an  HTML page :

GET http://www.deviantart.com/random/deviation

but this one will return a 403 Error : Forbidden

wget http://www.deviantart.com/random/deviation

Thanks for any help

Re: [solved] wget and GET

if you want to install software there are two ways:
1) compile from source
_OR_
2) use the package managing system
      2.1) open the right click menu and look for "synaptic" (maybe in the "system" section) 
      _OR_
      2.2) open a terminal and use the command "sudo apt-get install THE_PROGRAMM_YOU_WANT"
      (substituting accordingly)

if you have no experience with installing software i suggest (2.1) and if you want to use (2.2) read the man-page too ("man apt-get" in a terminal)

hope this helps (was that the actual question?)

Re: [solved] wget and GET

Run this:

sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

This should give you GET.
