Here is a simple step to downloading an entire website and making it available offline using wget.
💡Wget is a command-line utility for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols.
How to Install Wget
Wget comes with most Unix/Linux systems, but here is how you get it in case you were left out.
Use the command →
On Mac:
brew install wget
On Linux:
sudo apt-get install wget
Using Wget to download the website:
Enter this command on your terminal
wget -m -p -E -k -np www.example.com
The options explained:
-m, --mirror Turns on recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite
recursion depth, and keeps FTP directory listings.
-p, --page-requisites Get all images, etc. needed to display HTML page.
-E, --adjust-extension Save HTML/CSS files with .html/.css extensions.
-k, --convert-links Make links in downloaded HTML point to local files.
-np, --no-parent Dont ascend to the parent directory when retrieving
recursively. This guarantees that only the files below
a certain hierarchy will be downloaded. Requires a slash
at the end of the directory, e.g. example.com/foo/.
