Question

I am trying to download the package from https://github.com/justintime/nagios-plugins/downloads using wget, but what I am getting is the html file of the link I mentioned not the package. I tried this command:

wget -r -l 1 https://github.com/justintime/nagios-plugins/downloads

Is there any way to download the package from the above link?

Answer 1

wget is giving you what you asked for. You dint specify the package link. You are specifying the page link. Right click on the Download button of the required package on the page and select Copy Link Address and specify that address to wget

This works

wget -r -l 1 https://github.com/justintime/nagios-plugins/zipball/master
