How do I download a file from the internet to my linux server with Bash

Question

I recently had to upgrade to a VPS server  HostGator Linux  because I wanted to run a script that was a bit more complicated than the regular PHP db manipulation  I m trying to install a JDK and Apache Ant  if it matters  for compiling Android Apps on server    I watched tutorials on Linux Bash and started using it  I am currently trying to install Java  with JDK and JRE  on to the server   I am following the tutorial on this page  http   www oracle com technetwork java javase install-linux-64-self-extracting-142068 html  However  I don t know what to do at this line    Download and check the download file size   You can download to any directory that you can write to    How do I download Java from the command line   If it matters  I am running CentOS v5 8

You can use the command wget to download from command line  Specifically  you could use   wget http   download oracle com otn-pub java jdk 7u10-b18 jdk-7u10-linux-x64 tar gz   However because Oracle requires you to accept a license agreement this may not work  and I am currently unable to test it

I guess you could use curl and wget  but since Oracle requires you to check of some checkmarks this will be painfull to emulate with the tools mentioned  You would have to download the page with the license agreement and from looking at it figure out what request is needed to get to the actual download   Of course you could simply start a browser  but this might not qualify as  from the command line   So you might want to look into lynx  a text based browser
