There are four ways to download Wget :
However, Xcode takes up more than 10 GB when installed. I don’t think it’s worth it to download Xcode simply for Wget.

I tried to download wget2-1.99.2.tar.gz from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ which I got from https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ .
cd ~/Downloads
curl -O https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-1.99.2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf wget2-1.99.2.tar.gz
cd wget2-1.99.2/
./configure
make
make install
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.19.5.tar.gz
However, errors occured. According to this article
, it seems I have to install Xcode first; otherwise running ./configure won’t be successful.

I downloaded Macports first and then downloaded Wget from it. It worked.
