curl -O picture.jpgĮasy right? Now you can download files right from the command line all by simply using your keyboard. Now run the curl command with the -O option to specify the file output. That's Windows Key + R then type powershell and press enter. But I just want to download the file on Windows so let's just learn how to do that. (i don't know why I wrote it the way I did)Ĭurl is a very powerful tool with too many feature. But how do you do that when you are on a Windows machine? Let me introduce you to cURL, pronounced curl. On linux, all I have to do is open the command line, run wget with the file I want to download and it is done. One thing I do frequently is download files. My hands are already on the keyboard, and I would rather do the mundane things on the keyboard and not think about them. But you can save some more time by pressing, ctrl-c then ctrl-v Sure you can save some time by right-clicking, copy, right-click, paste. Every time I see someone do this, I die a little inside. Select a text you want to copy, go to the edit menu, click, precisely move down to copy, click, then go to the destination, click where you want to paste, go to edit menu, click, move down to the paste option, then paste. Not that the GUI is not efficient, but there are things that are simply faster to do with the keyboard. As a Linux user, I can't help but spend most of my time on the command line.
