- # Installing cURL
2
-
3
- ## Overview
4
-
5
- cURL (Client URL) is a command-line tool and library for transferring data using various network protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, LDAP, and many more. It is one of the most widely-used tools for making HTTP requests, downloading files, testing APIs, and automating data transfers. cURL is essential for developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who need to interact with web services from the command line or within scripts.
6
-
7
- cURL supports features such as:
8
- - HTTP/HTTPS requests with custom headers and authentication
9
- - File uploads and downloads with resume capability
10
- - Proxy support (HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5)
11

48
-
49
- ## Prerequisites
50
-
51
- Before installing cURL on any platform, ensure:
52
-
53
- 1. **Internet connectivity** - Required to download packages
54
- 2. **Administrative privileges** - Required on most platforms for system-wide installation
55
- 3. **Package manager installed** - Each platform requires its respective package manager (Homebrew, APT, DNF/YUM, Chocolatey, etc.)
56
-
57
- **Note**: Many modern operating systems include cURL pre-installed. The installation steps below ensure you have cURL available or upgrade to the latest version.
58
-
59
- ## Platform-Specific Installation
60
-
61
- ### macOS (Homebrew)
62
-
63
- #### Prerequisites
64
-
65
- - macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later (macOS 14 Sonoma+ recommended)
66
- - Homebrew package manager installed
67
- - Terminal access
68
-
69
- macOS includes a system version of cURL pre-installed. The steps below install the latest version via Homebrew, which includes more recent features and security updates.
70
-
71
- If Homebrew is not installed, install it first:
72
-
73
- ```bash
74
- /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
75
- ```
76
-
77
- #### Installation Steps
78
-
79
- Run the following command to install the latest cURL via Homebrew:
80
-
81
- ```bash
82
- brew install --quiet curl
83
- ```
84
-
85
- The `--quiet` flag suppresses non-essential output, making the command suitable for automation scripts.
86
-
87
- **Important**: Homebrew intentionally does not symlink cURL to the default bin directory to avoid conflicts with the macOS system version. To use the Homebrew version as your default, add it to your PATH:
88
-
89
- ```bash
90
- echo 'export PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
91
- ```
92
-
93
- For Bash users, replace `~/.zshrc` with `~/.bash_profile`.
94
-
95
- #### Verification
96
-
97
- Confirm the installation succeeded and that you are using the Homebrew version:
98
-
99
- ```bash
100
- curl --version
101
- ```
102
-
103
- Expected output (version numbers may vary):
104
-
105
- ```
106
- curl 8.11.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin23.0) libcurl/8.11.0 (SecureTransport) OpenSSL/3.4.0 zlib/1.2.13 brotli/1.1.0 zstd/1.5.6 libidn2/2.3.7 libssh2/1.11.1 nghttp2/1.64.0 librtmp/2.3 OpenLDAP/2.6.8
107
- Release-Date: 2024-11-06
108
- Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ipfs ipns ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
109
- Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS brotli GSS-API HSTS HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IDN IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz MultiSSL NTLM PSL SPNEGO SSL threadsafe TLS-SRP UnixSockets zstd
110
- ```
111
-
112
- Verify the path points to Homebrew:
113
-
114
- ```bash
115
- which curl
116
- ```
117
-
118
- Expected output: `/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin/curl` (Apple Silicon) or `/usr/local/opt/curl/bin/curl` (Intel).
119
-
120
- #### Troubleshooting
121
-
122
- **Problem**: `curl --version` shows older macOS system version
123
-
124
- **Solution**: The Homebrew cURL is not in your PATH. Run the PATH export command shown above and restart your terminal.
125
-
126
- **Problem**: `brew install curl` fails with permission errors
127
-
128
- **Solution**: Fix Homebrew directory ownership:
129
-
130
- ```bash
131
- sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
132
- ```
133
-
134
- **Problem**: Homebrew itself is not found
135
-
136
- **Solution**: Ensure Homebrew is in your PATH. For Apple Silicon Macs:
137
-
138
- ```bash
139
- eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
140
- ```
141

170
- ```
171
-
172
- Expected output (version numbers may vary):
173
-
174
- ```
175
- curl 7.88.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.88.1 OpenSSL/3.0.11 zlib/1.2.13 brotli/1.0.9 zstd/1.5.4 libidn2/2.3.3 libpsl/0.21.2 (+libidn2/2.3.3) libssh2/1.10.0 nghttp2/1.52.0 librtmp/2.3 OpenLDAP/2.5.13
176

185
- ```
186
-
187
- Expected output: `/usr/bin/curl`
188
-
189
- #### Troubleshooting
190
-
191
- **Problem**: `E: Unable to locate package curl`
192
-
193
- **Solution**: Update the package list first:
194
-
195
- ```bash
196
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
197
- ```
198
-
199
- **Problem**: `Permission denied` errors
200
-
201
- **Solution**: Ensure you are using `sudo` with the installation command.
202
-
203
- **Problem**: Older cURL version than expected
204
-
205
- **Solution**: Ubuntu/Debian repositories maintain stable versions. For the absolute latest, you can build from source, but the repository version is recommended for most users.

- Expected output for ARM64 (version numbers may vary):
239
-
240
- ```
241
- curl 7.88.1 (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.88.1 OpenSSL/3.0.11 zlib/1.2.13 brotli/1.0.9 zstd/1.5.4 libidn2/2.3.3 libpsl/0.21.2 (+libidn2/2.3.3) libssh2/1.10.0 nghttp2/1.52.0
242
- Release-Date: 2023-02-20
243
- Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
244
- Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS brotli GSS-API HSTS HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IDN IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz NTLM NTLM_WB PSL SPNEGO SSL TLS-SRP UnixSockets zstd

289
- cURL is pre-installed on all Amazon Linux versions. Amazon Linux 2023 uses `dnf` as the package manager, while Amazon Linux 2 uses `yum`. For convenience, AWS creates a symlink so `yum` commands also work on AL2023.
290
-
291
- **Note**: AL2023 provides `curl-minimal` by default, which supports the most common protocols. The full `curl` package is available if additional protocols are needed.
292
-
293
- #### Installation Steps
294
-
295
- **For Amazon Linux 2023:**
296
-
297
- Run the following command to ensure cURL is installed (or update to the latest version):
298
-
299
- ```bash
300
- sudo dnf install -y curl
301
- ```
302
-
303
- If you need the full-featured cURL with all protocols:
304
-
305
- ```bash
306
- sudo dnf install -y --allowerasing curl-full libcurl-full
307
- ```
308
-
309
- **For Amazon Linux 2:**
310
-
311
- Run the following command to ensure cURL is installed (or update to the latest version):
312
-
313
- ```bash
314
- sudo yum install -y curl
315
- ```
316
-
317
- The `-y` flag automatically confirms installation prompts, enabling non-interactive execution.
318
-
319
- #### Verification
320
-
321
- Confirm the installation succeeded:
322
-
323
- ```bash
324
- curl --version
325
- ```
326
-
327

341
-
342
- #### Troubleshooting
343
-
344
- **Problem**: `curl: command not found` (unlikely, but possible in minimal containers)
345
-
346
- **Solution**: Install cURL:
347
-
348
- ```bash
349
- sudo dnf install -y curl
350
- # or for Amazon Linux 2:
351
- sudo yum install -y curl
352
- ```
353
-
354
- **Problem**: Missing protocol support (e.g., LDAP, RTMP)
355
-
356
- **Solution**: Install the full cURL package:
357
-
358
- ```bash
359
- sudo dnf install -y --allowerasing curl-full
360
- ```
361
-
362
- **Problem**: `dnf: command not found` on Amazon Linux 2
363
-
364
- **Solution**: Use `yum` instead of `dnf` on Amazon Linux 2:
365
-
366
- ```bash
367
- sudo yum install -y curl
368
- ```

- #### Prerequisites
375
-
376
- - Windows 10 (version 1803+) or Windows 11
377
- - Chocolatey package manager installed
378
- - Administrator PowerShell or Command Prompt
379
-
380
- **Note**: Windows 10 version 1803 and later includes cURL pre-installed at `C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe`. The steps below install the latest cURL version via Chocolatey, which may include newer features and security updates.
381
-
382
- If Chocolatey is not installed, install it first by running this command in an Administrator PowerShell:
383
-
384
- ```powershell
385
- Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
386
- ```
387
-
388
- #### Installation Steps
389
-
390
- Run the following command in an Administrator PowerShell or Command Prompt:
391
-
392
- ```powershell
393
- choco install curl -y
394
- ```
395
-
396
- The `-y` flag automatically confirms all prompts, enabling fully non-interactive installation.
397
-
398
- #### Verification
399
-
400
- Open a **new** Command Prompt or PowerShell window (required for PATH to update), then run:
401
-
402
- ```powershell
403
- curl --version
404
- ```
405
-
406

415
- Verify the path points to the Chocolatey installation:
416
-
417
- ```powershell
418
- where curl
419
- ```
420
-
421
- Expected output should include `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\curl.exe`.
422
-
423
- #### Troubleshooting
424
-
425
- **Problem**: `curl` shows Windows built-in version instead of Chocolatey version
426
-
427
- **Solution**: The Windows system32 version may take precedence. Either:
428
-
429
- 1. Use the full path: `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\curl.exe --version`
430
- 2. Modify system PATH to put Chocolatey bin directory before System32
431
-
432
- **Problem**: In PowerShell, `curl` runs `Invoke-WebRequest` instead of the actual curl
433
-
434
- **Solution**: Use `curl.exe` (with the extension) to invoke the actual cURL executable:
435
-
436
- ```powershell
437
- curl.exe --version
438
- ```
439
-
440
- **Problem**: `choco` command not found
441
-
442
- **Solution**: Chocolatey may not be in PATH. Close all terminal windows, open a new Administrator PowerShell, and try again. If the issue persists, reinstall Chocolatey.
443
-
444
- **Problem**: Installation fails with access denied
445
-
446
- **Solution**: Ensure you are running PowerShell or Command Prompt as Administrator. Right-click and select "Run as administrator".

520
- ### Git Bash (Windows)
521
-
522
- #### Prerequisites
523
-
524
- - Windows 10 or Windows 11
525
- - Git for Windows installed (includes Git Bash)
526
-
527
- Git Bash includes a MinGW-compiled version of cURL bundled with Git for Windows. No separate installation is typically required.
528
-
529
- #### Installation Steps
530
-
531
- Git for Windows includes cURL by default. If Git for Windows is not installed:
532
-
533
- 1. Download from https://git-scm.com/download/win
534
- 2. Run the installer with default options
535
-
536
- Alternatively, install Git for Windows via Chocolatey (which includes Git Bash and cURL):
537
-
538
- ```powershell
539
- choco install git -y
540
- ```
541
-
542
- If you need a newer cURL version than the one bundled with Git Bash, install cURL separately on Windows (see Windows section above). Git Bash inherits the Windows PATH, so the Chocolatey-installed cURL will be available.
543
-
544
- #### Verification
545
-
546
- Open Git Bash and run:
547
-
548
- ```bash
549
- curl --version
550
- ```
551
-
552
- Expected output (version numbers may vary):
553
-
554
- ```
555
- curl 8.4.0 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) libcurl/8.4.0 Schannel zlib/1.3 brotli/1.1.0 zstd/1.5.5 libidn2/2.3.4 libssh2/1.11.0 nghttp2/1.57.0 libgsasl/2.2.0
556
- Release-Date: 2023-10-11
557
- Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
558
- Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS brotli GSS-API HSTS HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IDN IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz NTLM PSL SPNEGO SSL SSPI threadsafe UnixSockets zstd
559
- ```
560
-
561
- #### Troubleshooting
562
-
563
- **Problem**: `curl: command not found` in Git Bash
564
-
565
- **Solution**: Git for Windows may not be installed correctly, or its bin directory is not in PATH. Reinstall Git for Windows from https://git-scm.com/download/win.
566
-
567
- **Problem**: Old cURL version bundled with Git Bash
568
-
569
- **Solution**: Install a newer cURL on Windows using Chocolatey (see Windows section above). Git Bash inherits the Windows PATH, so the newer version will be used automatically if Chocolatey bin is in PATH before Git's usr/bin.
570
-
571
- **Problem**: SSL certificate errors in Git Bash
572
-
573
- **Solution**: Update the CA certificates bundle:
574
-
575
- ```bash
576
- git config --global http.sslCAInfo /mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
577
- ```
578
-
579

580
-
581
- ## Post-Installation Configuration
582
-
583
- cURL works out of the box for most use cases. The following optional configurations may be useful:
584
-
585
- ### Create a Configuration File
586
-
587
- cURL reads default options from `~/.curlrc` (Linux/macOS) or `%APPDATA%\_curlrc` (Windows). Create this file to set persistent options:
588
-
589
- ```bash
590
- # ~/.curlrc
591
- # Follow redirects automatically
592
- --location
593
-
594
- # Show errors
595
- --show-error
596
-
597
- # Fail silently on HTTP errors (useful for scripts)
598
- --fail
599
-
600
- # Set a default user agent
601
- --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; curl)"
602
- ```
603
-
604
- ### Configure Proxy Settings
605
-
606
- For environments behind a corporate proxy:
607
-
608
- ```bash
609
- # Set proxy via environment variable
610
- export http_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
611
- export https_proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
612
-
613
- # Or in ~/.curlrc
614
- --proxy "http://proxy.example.com:8080"
615
- ```
616
-
617
- ### Test Your Installation
618
-
619
- Verify cURL can make HTTPS requests:
620
-
621
- ```bash
622
- curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://httpbin.org/get
623
- ```
624
-
625
- Expected output: `200`
626
-
627
- ---
628
-
629
- ## Common Issues
630
-
631
- ### Issue: SSL Certificate Verification Fails
632
-
633
- **Symptoms**: `curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate`
634
-
635
- **Solution**: Update CA certificates on your system:
636
-
637
- ```bash
638
- # Ubuntu/Debian/Raspberry Pi OS/WSL
639
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y ca-certificates
640
-
641
- # Amazon Linux 2023
642
- sudo dnf install -y ca-certificates
643
-
644
- # Amazon Linux 2
645
- sudo yum install -y ca-certificates
646
-
647
- # macOS
648
- brew install --quiet ca-certificates
649
- ```
650
-
651
- ### Issue: Connection Timeout
652
-
653
- **Symptoms**: `curl: (28) Connection timed out`
654
-
655
- **Solution**: Check network connectivity and firewall settings. Try increasing the timeout:
656
-
657
- ```bash
658
- curl --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 120 https://example.com
659
- ```
660
-
661
- ### Issue: curl vs curl.exe on Windows
662
-
663
- **Symptoms**: PowerShell runs `Invoke-WebRequest` instead of actual cURL.
664
-
665
- **Solution**: Always use `curl.exe` in PowerShell to invoke the actual cURL executable:
666
-
667
- ```powershell
668
- curl.exe https://example.com
669
- ```
670
-
671
- ### Issue: HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 Not Supported
672
-
673
- **Symptoms**: cURL does not use HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 even when requested.
674
-
675
- **Solution**: Check if your installed version supports these protocols:
676
-
677
- ```bash
678
- curl --version | grep -i "http2\|http3"
679
- ```
680
-
681
- If not listed in Features, you may need to install a newer version or build from source with appropriate flags.
682
-
683
- ### Issue: Slow DNS Resolution
684
-
685
- **Symptoms**: cURL commands take several seconds to start.
686
-
687
- **Solution**: Force IPv4 to avoid IPv6 DNS lookup delays:
688
-
689
- ```bash
690
- curl -4 https://example.com
691
- ```
692
-
693
- Or set this permanently in `~/.curlrc`:
694
-
695
- ```
696
- --ipv4
697
- ```
