wget is a built-in tool that can download the entire website on Linux. The downloaded HTML project can be hosted as a static website. However, you might have discovered that the built-in wget command didn’t download some files from the website, such as images, even though the URLs for those files were included in your downloaded HTML files.
Suggestion
The article suggests readers use the new version of wget built-in command, wget2, to download the website. Based on my experience, wget2 is more reliable than wget.
Steps to install wget2
Copy and paste the following commands in Linux terminal
sudo apt update sudo apt install wget2
Download the entire website
Copy and edit the following command. Paste the command in Linux terminal
wget2 -k -r [website url]Replace [website url] with the actual website’s URL.
For example,
wget2 -k -r https://www.yourwebsite.com
