title: How to Get cURL Working in a Databricks Cluster?
body: <p>I have a notebook running on a cluster in Databricks. I am trying to download a .jar file from an archive online using the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sh curl -k -O https://repository.mapr.com/nexus/content/groups/mapr-public/org/apache/hive/hive-jdbc/2.1.1-mapr-1803/hive-jdbc-2.1.1-mapr-1803.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this on my local machine it works fine, and the .jar file successfully downloads. When I run it on Databricks, it runs indefinitely, never downloading any data. The output looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                   Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  <p>How can I overcome this and successfully download the file into my cluster?</p>
