I think you're asking about apt-get, not wget.

On Debian-based systems (including Ubuntu, Knoppix, Mepis, ...)
apt-get is one interface to the package manager.

The file /etc/apt/sources.list describes the list of repositories
your system is built from.  Add repositories by editing that file.
See the sources.list man page for details.

Yes, apt-get installs dependencies automatically.
