Download Dependencies

The DownloadHandler requires use of either wget or aria2 to download from the SDSS servers.

wget is GNU Wget, a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS. Information and documentation can be found here https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/. For a quick Debian/Ubuntu install try:

sudo apt-get install wget

aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source command-line download utility and can be far faster than wget when used with this package. Information and documentation can be found here https://aria2.github.io/. For a quick Debian/Ubuntu install try:

sudo apt-get install -y aria2
