Ubuntu – wget -O command not found

wget

This is my first day using Ubuntu 12.04. I am using Ubuntu as it is the only operating system capable of hosting an app I created using the statistical software package R. I am trying to follow the (so far very helpful) commands given at the following site:

http://withr.me/blog/2013/07/23/configure-shiny-server-under-ubuntu/

Everything runs fine until Step 6 – "Install Upstart script".

sudo wget\
https://raw.github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/master/config/upstart/shiny-server.conf\
-O /etc/init/shiny-server.conf

command not found

Any help as to why this error message is arising would be greatly appreciated. And sorry for the newbie question. Seriously only using Linux for a few hours.

Use this one :-)

sudo wget -O /etc/init/shiny-server.conf  https://raw.github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/master/config/upstart/shiny-server.conf

You might have had a stray space after the \ or forgot to leave some room before it. anyway, this line will work.

Ubuntu – Wget not saving links in desired format

The --convert-links option should do what you're looking for:

wget --convert-links --no-parent maine.craigslist.org/fuo

More information about this option and what it does is below (copied from man wget):

   --convert-links
       After the download is complete, convert the links in the document
       to make them suitable for local viewing.  This affects not only the
       visible hyperlinks, but any part of the document that links to
       external content, such as embedded images, links to style sheets,
       hyperlinks to non-HTML content, etc.

       Each link will be changed in one of the two ways:

       ·   The links to files that have been downloaded by Wget will be
           changed to refer to the file they point to as a relative link.

           Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to
           /bar/img.gif, also downloaded, then the link in doc.html will
           be modified to point to ../bar/img.gif.  This kind of
           transformation works reliably for arbitrary combinations of
           directories.

       ·   The links to files that have not been downloaded by Wget will
           be changed to include host name and absolute path of the
           location they point to.

           Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to
           /bar/img.gif (or to ../bar/img.gif), then the link in doc.html
           will be modified to point to http://hostname/bar/img.gif.

       Because of this, local browsing works reliably: if a linked file
       was downloaded, the link will refer to its local name; if it was
       not downloaded, the link will refer to its full Internet address
       rather than presenting a broken link.  The fact that the former
       links are converted to relative links ensures that you can move the
       downloaded hierarchy to another directory.

Ubuntu – Unable to use wget command

Edit your Resolv conf using

# sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf

Then Enter the below

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 4.4.4.4

Replace 192.168.1.1 with your Router IP

Edit this file too if not your DNS will override it

# sudo vim /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base

Then Enter the below

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 4.4.4.4

Then Restart your Server Using

# sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
