Wget Hadoop

wget is a command-line utility for downloading files from the internet. It is not typically used to download Hadoop itself but can be used to retrieve specific Hadoop-related files or distributions if they are hosted on a publicly accessible web server.

Here’s how you might use wget to download a Hadoop distribution:

1. Determine the Download URL: First, you need to find the download URL for the Hadoop distribution or file you want. You can usually find this information on the official Hadoop project website or the distribution’s download page.

2. Open a Terminal or Command Prompt: On your local machine, open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Use wget to Download the File: Use the wget command followed by the URL of the Hadoop distribution you want to download. For example:

4. Wait for the Download: wget will retrieve the file from the provided URL and save it to your current directory. Depending on the size of the file and your internet connection speed, this may take some time.

5. Verify the Download: After the download is complete, you can verify the integrity of the downloaded file by comparing its checksum with the one provided on the official Hadoop website. This step is essential for ensuring that the file has not been tampered with during the download.
