If your CentOS 5.7 server has been installed with minimal installation, wget command will not exist. Wget is a free network utility for linux to download files from the Web. Therefore, there is simple step to install the wget command utility into your CentOS 5.7 server.
When i try to download the webmin, i got this error:

Simply run this command to install wget
