Curl is another command line tool that can be used to download files from the internet. Unlike Wget, which is command line only, features of Curl are powered by libcurl which is a cross-platform URL transfer library. Curl not only allows downloading of files but can also be used for uploading and exchanging of requests with servers. However, Curl does not support recursive downloads which Wget offers.
Similarly, like Wget, Curl comes pre-installed with most of the Linux Distributions. This can simply be checked by running the following command:. Just like Wget, Curl has multiple features incorporated inside of it.
The most basic is its ability to allow users to download files from a single URL from the internet. For better understanding, we will be downloading a simple image in the png format from the internet just like in the case of Wget. Curl also allows users to change the filename and the type of the file. This can be done by the following command:. In the image above, we took a png file originally named pancake1. Just like in the case of Wget, Curl allows users to download multiple files using a number of URLs from the internet.

I have added the Browsh text browser to the list as suggested by you. RAM usage is practically zilch and it handles some JS to boot. I suppose this makes it a subClass of the more able full-fledged browsers. Lynx works well too because it at least colorizes certain tags — so the output looks nice:. Also… finding that w3m does MD locally pretty well via pandoc, though the output is blander but the html support is actually stronger than I expected:.
I love the way that the different tools are showcased in the text itself. Thank you for making such a well designed site. Great article. Can any of these tools be used over ssh? I am looking for a tool that can resume downloads over ssh if interrupted other than rsync not supported on the system.

Have a great day ahead! Installing Tor Browser on Linux with tar. Download the installation file For all Linux distros where the apt utility is missing, you can install tor with the tar. You can also download the installation file with the wget command: 2. Extracting the tar file Now we have to extract the tar file we just downloaded.

Of course, depending on what resource you are trying to access, things might look different on your end.
You can simply type w3m in the terminal to get help after installation. W3M is available on most of the default repositories for any Debian-based Linux distribution. Here, we are installing the w3m package along with image extension for in-line image support.
Next, to get started, you have to simply follow the command below:. Of course, you need to replace xyz. Finally, you should know that you can use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate and press enter when you want to take an action.
You can explore more about it by heading to its man page as well. Lynx is yet another open source command line browser which you can try. I was able to load up DuckDuckGo and make it work. You can set it to always accept or deny as well. On the other hand, the window does not re-size well while using it from the terminal.
In either case, it works great and you get all the instructions for the keyboard shortcuts right when you launch it in the terminal.
