Operating systems with the Linux kernel have excellent facilities for working with anything. Extended work with Internet websites is no exception. Sometimes you may need to browse certain websites without having an Internet connection, for example, while traveling or at the dacha. For such an autonomous operation, it is necessary to download them entirely to a computer (for example, a hard and flash drive). The console utility Wget will help us to cope with this task.
Necessary
- - Linux operating system distribution kit;
- - the Internet;
- - the Wget program.
Instructions
Step 1
Start a terminal. It is more convenient to execute commands and view the results of their work in a terminal emulator. For example, the Ubuntu distribution uses Terminal as its default. Start it up. Further, all commands will be executed in it.
Step 2
Install Wget. Some Linux distributions do not have Wget installed by default. To install it, for example, in Ubuntu, you need to run the command sudo apt-get install wget. Check your distribution's documentation for installation problems.
Step 3
Change to the desired directory. It is more convenient to go directly to the location where the website files will be uploaded. For example, by running the command cd ~ / downloads /, the current directory will be the downloads in the current user's home directory.
Step 4
Define options and run. Wget has many different startup options. For example, wget -r -l 0 -p -k -d example.com https://example.com/ will create a directory named example.com, load all the files for this website into it, and convert them as needed. The operation may take a long time to complete, depending on the size of the website, the speed of your Internet connection, and other factors. When complete, the website content will be fully available for local viewing.
