====== Use Curl as wget Replacement ======
Jan 2017
\\
----
By default, wget is not installed on the MFEL. Even updating repositories (using EPEL) will not enable wget installation. To overcome this you can use curl as a drop in replacement for wget.
\\
\\
Where you would have used wget like so:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
\\
You can use:
curl -O https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
\\
The -O is important, this tells curl to output to file, by default curl will output to the console (screen) and you will just see a mess.
