Description
_Describe your proposal here._
The `curl` tool has a much wider distribution than the `wget` command. This means users are much less likely to need to install a command like `wget` before being able to continue with downloading and installing the software.
To remove this unnecessary impediment, I propose switching all use of `wget ...` to `curl -o ...` throughout the documentation.

Research direction
Start by searching the documentation repository for every `wget` occurrence, including the linked Meta Node Installation page. Replace the documented commands with the proposed `curl -o` form, then repeat the search to confirm no documented uses of `wget` remain.
