explain wget command

#1 Post by hthi »

debian 9
wget

https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html
I have not read it all.

Is apt-get for installing debian packages?
Is wget for downloading from everywhere?

Code: Select all

sudo wget -O - http://apt.maidsafe.net/repos/maidsafe.apt.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
The command downloads maidsafe's pgp public key and adds it to the sources list?

Code: Select all

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/maidsafe.list http://apt.maidsafe.net/repos/maidsafe.list
The command edits the sources list to include maidsafe?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
Updates the system?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install safe-browser
Installs the maidsafe program?

Thank you.
