Hi

I find myself in a chicken and egg situation. (or I'm missing something simple)

I'm building a custom Desktop based on Arch.... I have a base and have installed Slim and am looking to load Awesome WM.

I need to download the .tar.gz from the internet to build it as its part of AUR and not supported repositories.

So..... How do I download it from the command line in the new box I'm building? I don't have a web browser installed yet or a WM....

I know I could use a different box and download it to usb or something and then grab it from there but there must be a "proper method/ more elegant method" which I would like to learn at this point.

I have read around wiki now for the entire morning looking for programs and must be missing something.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Do you have wget installed?

Kind regards

Thanks repo

I new it would be easy. "Couldn't see the fire for the smoke"
