Failed installation on Windows 10; Problem with 'wget' command #149

Failed at the git-tip@1.2.2 postinstall script 'wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git-tips/tips/master/tips.json -O tips.json'.

The failure to install is due to lack of wget utility. Could you try downloading and installing wget and revert back if it's successful with the steps you followed? I don't have a working windows environment right now.

I know this is long overdue but better late than never :smile: Also sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: Found this article which could help with easy steps - https://builtvisible.com/download-your-website-with-wget/ (Ofc except the "downloading website" part)

Also just realized I had unwatched this repo because of the high traffic clogging up the feed. Explains why I didn't get a notification. Sorry once again. :smile:

Thanks Niraj, will try it out and get you feedback if anything pops up.

Enjoy the day.
