I am trying to download Hadoop from here: http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/www.apache.org/dist/hadoop/common/stable/
It contains the file hadoop-2.9.2.tar.gz which I am trying to access.
The command I am trying to use is along the lines of

wget  -P/home/ubuntu/Desktop/"http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/www.apache.org/dist/hadoop/common/stable/target=hadoop-2.9.2.tar.gz"

I know the target part at the end is the issue but I am unsure how to fix it.
Thanks

The command and link you are using seems to contain errors. The actual format of wget is:

wget [option] [URL]

You removed spaces (which obviously matters) and added target= (which isn't there in actual URL). So, it must be something like:

wget -P /home/ubuntu/Desktop/ "http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/www.apache.org/dist/hadoop/common/stable/hadoop-2.9.2.tar.gz"

I have tested the above command and at my end it is working fine and successfully downloaded hadoop-2.9.2.tar.gz in the Desktop directory.
