[SOLVED] How to download Proxmox 4.2 on the command line?

[Ovidiu]

Sorry for the dumb question but I need a direct link or some other way to download the ISO via command line.

 

[LnxBil]

wget or curl should do the trick (if you'd like to download in Linux)

OK, looks like I wasn't clear enough

The download link looks somethign like this so I couldn't get wget to work:
http://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads?task=callelement&format=raw&item_id=188&element=f85c494b-2b32-4109-b8c1-083cca2b7db6&method=download&args[0]=8974fa38125a347c7eb19965997f99b9

but meanwhile I downloaded the iso locally then used scp to transfer it to where I need it.

You need to escape it. The ampersand's (&) have to be escaped in your shell. This can be easily done by "" around:

$ /tmp > wget "http://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads?task=callelement&format=raw&item_id=188&element=f85c494b-2b32-4109-b8c1-083cca2b7db6&method=download&args[0]=8974fa38125a347c7eb19965997f99b9"
