this worked for me:

sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

but remember to restart Apache:

service apache2 reload

curl (the binary itself) is installed on all droplets by default. You can install the php5-curl package to install the php curl extension on Ubuntu/Debian.

Depending on the OS on your server, you can install curl: <br> <br>Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl <br> <br>CentOS - yum search curl <br> <br>Based on the results you get back, you can install the curl package you want. If you want to install curl for php. You should type: yum install php-curl <br> <br>I hope that helps
