6,883 PointsURL to build software
In following along with the Building Software From Source video, I was unable to copy the link address for SQLite source code. Consequently, when I tried to execute curl it didn't work. I didn't write down the message displayed, but the console wouldn't take any keystrokes and I had to relaunch. Where's the beef?

6,883 PointsFirst, right-clicking on the tarball url did not yield a "Copy Link Address" option but rather, a "Copy Link" option. Clicking on that option did not copy the link, for the "Copy" option, rather than the "Paste" option, was listed when I attempted to paste it to the console. Second "curl -O" + the URL for the source code (which I typed in manually) produced an error (or information) message.
