Either use the [`-o` option][1] or its alias `--output`, or redirect shell output to the file of choice by using `&gt;`.

    curl -o /path/to/local/file http://url.com
    curl http://url.com &gt; /path/to/local/file

If you want to preserve the original file name from the remote server, use the [`-O` option][2] or its alias `--remote-name`. 

    curl -O http://url.com/file.html 

Stores the output from the remote location in the current directory as file.html.

  [2]: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-O

`curl -o &lt;name&gt; &lt;url&gt;` seems to do the trick..

_HINT_: You can also try with `man curl`...

For those who are getting familiar with CURL, here is a more clear and easy to understand use case example:


REMOTE URL

    http(s)://my-remote-image.png?token=TOKEN_ID

CURL COMMAND IN ACTION (lowercase &quot;o&quot;)

    curl -o custom_name_to_be_used.png &quot;http(s)://my-remote-image.png?token=TOKEN_ID&quot;




Here is how to download a file to another file name, and allow redirects. No need to look for `-L` in the comments.

`curl -L &quot;$URL&quot; -o &quot;$FILENAME&quot;`

Example 

`curl -L https://protonmail.com/download/bridge/protonmail-bridge_2.1.1-1_amd64.deb -o bridge.deb`

I know that this is not something that should ever be done, but is there a way to use the slash character that normally separates directories within a filename in Linux?


Is it possible to use &quot;/&quot; in a filename?

    $all = array
    (
        0 =&gt; 307,
        1 =&gt; 157,
        2 =&gt; 234,
        3 =&gt; 200,
        4 =&gt; 322,
        5 =&gt; 324
    );
    $search_this = array
    (
        0 =&gt; 200,
        1 =&gt; 234
    );

I would like to find out if `$all` contains all `$search_this` values and return `true` or `false`. Any ideas please?

I have Git on mac OSX Snow Leopard and I tried to edit my merge and diff tool to use kdiff3 instead of emerge.

But when I try to use it does not launch the GUI of kdiff and keeps me with a cmd based interface.

My setting in gitconfig are: 

    [merge]
         tool = kdiff3
    [mergetool &quot;kdiff3&quot;]
        cmd = /Applications/kdiff3.app/Contents/MacOS/kdiff3
        args = $base $local $other -o $output
        trustExitCode = false
    [diff]
	tool = kdiff3
    [difftool &quot;kdiff3&quot;]
    cmd = /Applications/kdiff3.app/Contents/MacOS/kdiff3
    args = $base $local $other -o $output
    trustExitCode = false

There is obviously something missing but what did I do wrong ?

I downloaded pip and ran `python setup.py install` and everything worked just fine. The very next step in the tutorial is to run `pip install &lt;lib you want&gt;` but before it even tries to find anything online I get an error &quot;bash: pip: command not found&quot;.

This is on Mac OS X, which I&#39;m new to, so I&#39;m assuming there&#39;s some kind of path setting that was not set correctly when I ran `setup.py`. How can I investigate further? What do I need to check to get a better idea of the exact cause of the problem?

**EDIT:** I also tried installing Python 2.7 for Mac in the hopes that the friendly install process would do any housekeeping like editing PATH and whatever else needs to happen for everything to work according to the tutorials, but this didn&#39;t work. After installing, running &#39;python&#39; still ran Python 2.6 and PATH was not updated.

Hi I&#39;m trying to copy my rails_projects directory from haseebjaved/Desktop/rails_projects to my home directory, which is haseebjaved.

How can I do this via the Command Line?

Also, can I see my home directory on the UI or only via the Command Line in Mac OS X? 

Is it possible to copy directories to and from my home directory via the UI? Or only via Command Line?

Thank you

I have been developing a script on my linux box for quite some time, and wanted to run it on my Mac as well.

I thought that the functions on the Mac were the same as the functions on linux, but today I realized it was wrong. I knew that fewer functions existed on the Mac, but I thought that the functions that did exist, had the same implementation.

This problem is specifically in regards to the `date` command.

When I run the command on my linux machine with the parameter to provide some time in nanoseconds, I get the correct result, but when I run it on my mac, it does not have that option.
   
    Linux-Machine&gt; date +%N
    55555555555 #Current time in nanoseconds
    Mac-Machine&gt; date +%N
    N

How do I go about getting the current time in nanoseconds as a bash command on the Mac?

Worst case is I create a small piece of code that calls a system function in C or something and then call it within my script.

Any help is much appreciated!

Date command does not follow Linux specifications (Mac OS X Lion)

I have been looking throughout the system but I cannot find it. When I do echo $PATH I get the stuff I added, plus the default path. I do not have a .profile, and I do have a .bashrc, but the default path is not in there. I am looking for it just to know where it is located because all the tutorials explain that its in .profile... but what if you don&#39;t have one? Where is it located then? Anybody have any ideas?

Where is the default terminal $PATH located on Mac?

    $ cat urls.txt | xargs -0 curl -O

But that only gives me the last file in the list.

How do I include special characters like @ and &amp; in the cURL POST data? I&#39;m trying to pass a name and password like:

    curl -d name=john passwd=@31&amp;3*J https://www.mysite.com

This would cause problems as `@` is used for loading files and `&amp;` for specifying more than one key/value. Is there some way I can escape these characters? `\@` and `\&amp;` don&#39;t seem to work.

If I have a text file with a separate command on each line how would I make terminal run each line as a command? I just don&#39;t want to have to copy and paste 1 line at a time. It doesn&#39;t HAVE to be a text file... It can be any kind of file that will work.

I&#39;m tryng to use Sublime Text from the terminal, for example by typing `subl`.

I&#39;m following the steps from Sublime Text&#39;s website:

&gt; Setup
&gt;
&gt; The first task is to make a symlink to subl. Assuming you&#39;ve placed Sublime Text 2 in the Applications folder, and that you have a ~/bin directory in your path, you can run:
&gt;

    ln -s &quot;/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl&quot; ~/bin/subl

I keep getting `permission denied : ~/bin/subl: Permission Denied`

I have been searching around for a similar problem but can&#39;t find one that&#39;s applicable. Can someone point me to the right direction?

I&#39;m learning to develop in Rails, and have discovered the power of `zsh`. However, for some of my other tasks, I wish to use normal `bash`.

Although they are the same, I just feel comfortable with the layout of `bash` in some situations.

How do I switch back and forth, or turn `zsh` on and off?

I know I can use `cd` command to change my working directory in bash.  

But if I do this command:

Then the working directory will be changed permanently. Is there some way to change the working directory just temporarily like this?
