I am trying to download nodejs tar files from server using curl.. but its outputting strange characters to terminal and also not downloading the file. Check the screenshot
I am typing this command on terminal
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.8.tar.gz
Why showing strange characters as output. I have also tried
curl -0 http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.8.tar.gz
Add -O to not dump the file contents to the terminal.
curl -O http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.8.tar.gz
Note that it is the captital o and not zero.
For more, I can recommend
