Description

wget -qO - http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/suricata/emerging.rules.tar.gz | tar -x -z -C "/opt/suricata/etc/suricata/" -f -
/bin/sh: wget: not found
gzip: stdin: unrecognized file format
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
*** Error 1 in /home/victor/oisf (Makefile:726 'install-rules')

I think it may be better to use curl, in my experience it's more likely to be available than wget. Like on this OpenBSD 5.3 test.
