how to add wget utility to git bash for windows

Since a viewer requested debugging steps on my initial video so, this is a detailed step by step take-two on how to add wget to git bash.

Hope this helps, please subscribe :)

In this video first I will show you that when I type wget in git-bash I get command not found error message.

Next I will show you how to google and find the wget utility download page.

Then we will cover which type of wget utility to download 32 bit or 64 bit, for this you can use the "System Information" in windows via pressing windows key and then typing "System Information" or you can do it via command line.

For command line we will visit this forum:

and use the below commands in command prompt:

wmic OS get OSArchitecture
and
systeminfo | findstr /I type:

We will then press windows key and type "git bash" and then click on "open file location" then right click the git bash icon and click on properties to see where it is installed.

Once in the git bash installation directory we will then goto mingw64 folder and inside it we will goto bin folder.

Next we will open new git bash window and type wget, the command will work correctly as it is part of the git bash command line utilities path.
