 then Greenstone downloads the page and scans though it looking for ''href'''s that match the specified file extensions, and downloads these.
+==== Downloading on the command line ====
+You can also download OAI records on the command line, using the perl script that GLI uses in the background: **downloadfrom.pl**. There is lots of information about command line downloading on [[en:user_advanced:command_line_download|downloading from the command line]] page.
+  * **Set up the Greenstone environment** in the terminal by running one of the following:
+<code>
+source gs3-setup.sh (linux/MacOS, gs3)
+gs3-setup (Windows, gs3)
+source setup.bash (Linux/MacOS, gs2)
+setup (Windows, gs2)
+</code>
+  * **To see the options available**, run:
+<code>
+perl -S downloadinfo.pl OAIDownload
+</code>
+The options are the same as you can see in the GLI OAI download panel, listed above.
+  ***An example usage would be:**
+<code>
+ perl -S downloadfrom.pl -mode OAI -url http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi -set demo -max_records 5
+</code>
+This will try to download 5 records from the set //demo// at the nzdl.org's OAI server.
+The records (and optionally documents) will be downloaded into the folder the script is run from. To change this, use the **-cache_dir full-path-to-folder** option.
