I want to automate a process of downloading a binary file from a server (HTTP) and then install it on either Solaris or Linux servers.

I use wget command followed by executing the binary file as root user.

Can we combine these two steps?

Answer 1

put both commands into a single script that gets executed by root

Answer 2

You can do

wget url | command-to-install

However, if this is a tar folder and you know how to install, you can write a shell script to do it. e.g

wget url

tar xvzf archive 
./configure
make
make install

and run it as root e.g sudo ./installscript.sh
