Problem installing sql lite

When I type:

curl -o https://www.sqlite.org/2017/sqlite-autoconf-3190100.tar.gz

into the TeamTreehouse console I get the following error message:

curl: no URL specified!

Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The link beginning with "https:// " is directly copied from the SQL Lite download page, same as the instructor does in the video.

I think your "-o" should be a capital O. Lowercase o is specifying an output file, not a remote-name.

Try: curl -O https://www.sqlite.org/2017/sqlite-autoconf-3190100.tar.gz

Things are case-sensitive.

That worked. Thank you Stephen :)
