Automatically Download All The Wallpapers From National Geographic [MAC Version]
In my travels today i found a great post from http://www.webupd8.org Its a set up scripts for linux that will download all the Wallpapers from Nation Geopraphic.
Well, it was Linux only and didn't work nativity on my Mac, so i hacked it up and made it Mac Friendly
Original Post: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/automatically-download-all-wallpapers.html
My Scripts:
2008 Wallpapers : http://bjcpgd.cias.rit.edu/natgeo/natgeo2008.sh
2009 Wallpapers : http://bjcpgd.cias.rit.edu/natgeo/natgeo2009.sh
To run these scripts. download them to a folder of your choice, remember all the wallpapers will download to that directory.
Open up the Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities
Work your way into your directory structure and you will have to:
chmod +x /natgeo2008.sh
and
chmod +x /natgeo2009.sh
When you are ready just
./natgeo2008.sh
All credit for this script goes back to original Author, i'm just the guy who ported it to Mac.

Thanks for doing this. I followed the original instructions on the Linux blog, but had trouble getting it to work on my Mac. Saw your post and came here. Thanks again.

So I have never used Terminal before – here is what worked for me.. I created a folder on my desktop “natgeo” and saved the scripts in this post in that folder. Once in terminal, I typed in “cd desktop” then “cd natgeo”. Once in that folder, I typed in “chmod +x natgeo2008.sh” then typed in “./natgeo2008.sh” and for the 2009 files, I did the same, just using 2009 rather than 2008… Hope this helps for any other Terminal virgin…

Thank you GLS. Having never used Terminal before or any sort of script I couldn’t have done it without your clear and easy to follow explanation! Many thanks!
