====== Use Curl as wget Replacement ======
<color darkorange>Jan 2017</color>
\\ 

----
By default, <color red>wget</color> is not installed on the MFEL. Even updating repositories (using EPEL) will not enable <color red>wget</color> installation. To overcome this you can use <color darkorange>curl</color> as a drop in replacement for <color red>wget</color>.
\\ 
\\ 
    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 <color darkorange>-O</color> is important, this tells <color darkorange>curl</color> to output to file, by default <color darkorange>curl</color> will output to the console (screen) and you will just see a mess.
