Tip: if you don't have wget installed on your fresh Mac, run curl -O instead.

Yeah - note that vulpes typed "dash oh" instead of "dash zero." The latter will send an HTTP 1.0 request (since curl defaults to HTTP 1.1) whereas the former will Output the file to disk (otherwise curl defaults to stdout).

...or just cut-and-paste, since vulpes typed it correctly.
