How do I use Curl to download a file from the command line?

Hey! Just chiming in to say that Curl is awesome for downloading files. The basic syntax is `curl [URL]`, but to save it, you’ll need `-o` or `-O`.

If you’re on Linux or macOS, you can also pipe the output to a file like this: `curl [URL] > filename.ext`.
