Typically, if you find a recipe in the layer index, assuming it isn't a 
distribution layer, you would add the layer it is contained in to your 
conf/bblayers.conf rather than trying to extract the single recipe and all the 
files it needs. To do this:

1) Click on the layer link on the right hand side of the recipe list or within 
the page for the recipe

2) Grab the git URL for the layer repository (assuming JavaScript is enabled 
in your browser you can click once on the arrow on the left to select the text 
and then you can copy it easily)

3) Clone that repository somewhere on your machine

4) Add the path to the layer (including the subdirectory if specified on the 
layer index page for the layer) to conf/bblayers.conf

Cheers,
Paul
