Getting Started with obsutil

You can download obsutil and then use it without installation. Methods of downloading obsutil vary depending on the OS type.

Make sure that your cloud server has been connected to the Internet, or the obsutil installation will fail.

Windows

Download the obsutil package to your local PC.
Decompress the software package.
Use Command Prompt to go to the decompressed folder and run obsutil commands.

Linux

Open the CLI and run the wget command to download obsutil.

Linux AMD (64-bit) and Linux x86 (64-bit):
```
wget https://obs-community-intl.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/obsutil/current/obsutil_linux_amd64.tar.gz

```
wget https://obs-community-intl.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/obsutil/current/obsutil_linux_arm64.tar.gz
```
- The URL after wget is the download link of the installation package, for which you do not need to make any adaptations. To download the package, just copy and run the whole wget command.
- You can also download the obsutil package from a PC running Windows and then use a cross-platform transfer tool (such as WinSCP) to transfer the package to your Linux host.
Run the following command in the directory where the obsutil package resides:
```
tar -xzvf obsutil_linux_amd64.tar.gz
```
