This example shows a collection of Bash scripts for downloading Oracle JDK/JRE binaries from the Oracle website via the terminal. It demonstrates how to automate fetching multiple platform-specific packages (Linux, Windows, macOS) and documentation in a single invocation using `curl` or `wget`. The scripts use `wget` with options like `-c` for resuming interrupted downloads and `--header` to pass the required Oracle license cookie, while `curl` variants employ `-C -` for continuation, `-L` for redirects, and `-O` for remote filenames. The code includes version-specific base URLs for JDK 8, 9, and 10, along with commented notes on command-line flags.

JDK9 command line download script; For JDK10, please check: https://gist.github.com/P7h/9741922

This example provides a shell script that automates the download of Oracle JDK 9 binaries from the Oracle website using command-line tools. The script defines a base URL for JDK 9.0.4 and a list of platform-specific files, including Linux tar archives, Windows executables, and API documentation. It uses `curl` with options like `-C -` for resuming interrupted downloads, `-L` for redirects, `-R` for timestamping, and `-O` (implied) with a cookie header to accept the Oracle license. The script also includes commented-out alternatives using `wget`, and documents its purpose for environments like Amazon EC2.

JDK Download script [earlier version] -- NOT maintaining this anymore. Please check: https://gist.github.com/P7h/9741922

This example presents a shell script that automates downloading various JDK 8 and JDK 7 distributions and documentation from Oracle’s servers. It shows how to use `wget` with the `--no-check-certificate`, `--no-cookies`, and `--header` flags to pass the required `oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie` cookie, bypassing Oracle’s license acceptance. The script targets multiple versions (8u25 through 8.0) and platforms including Windows x64/i586 and Linux x64/i586, and also fetches Java tutorials zips. It is an earlier, unmaintained version, with the code referencing a newer gist.

Commands to download Chromium from the shell. Just in case, if you dont want to go thru this hassle, check Chromium Auto Updater. http://www.firstever.eu/en/chromium-auto-updater.

This example shows shell commands for downloading Chromium browser builds for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows from the command line. The script uses `curl` to retrieve the latest build version number from the Chromium continuous build server’s `LAST_CHANGE` file, then `wget` to download the corresponding `chrome-win32.zip` archive, and finally `mv` to rename the file with its version stamp. It relies on the Google Cloud Storage API endpoints for the `Win` and `Win_x64` directories, and includes a note about an alternative auto-updater tool.

This example demonstrates a shell script that automates the download and extraction of the latest Linux 64-bit geckodriver release. It shows how to query the GitHub API for the newest release, parse the download URL using `sed`, and pipe the archive directly into `tar` for extraction. The script relies on `curl` to fetch the API metadata and `wget` to retrieve the tarball, providing a one-liner workflow for staying up-to-date with geckodriver binaries.

Download and setup [from the command line] Java, Scala, SBT and Spark on a Ubuntu machine.

Two Bash scripts automate the end-to-end setup of a big-data toolchain on Ubuntu, downloading and installing JDK 8, Scala, SBT, and Spark via `wget`, then extracting tarballs with `tar`, moving binaries into `~/apps`, and appending environment variables to `.bashrc`. The second script sources the updated shell configuration, launches a Spark master and slave using `start-master.sh` and `start-slave.sh`, and runs the bundled `SparkPi` example to verify the installation. It also uses `sed` to reduce log verbosity across all `log4j.properties` files.

wget commands to get static sites

This example demonstrates a single-line shell command for downloading a static website. The visualization shows how `wget` flags combine to fetch a complete, browsable local copy of a page. The code uses `--recursive` and `--level=1` to limit depth, `--convert-links` to rewrite HTML references, and `--page-requisites` to pull in CSS, images, and scripts. The command also applies `--no-cookies`, `--timestamping`, `--adjust-extension`, `--no-parent`, and `--max-redirect=0` to control caching, file naming, and redirect behavior. The data source is the URL provided as an argument to the script.
