Hello,

If you’re using Nginx or Apache on Ubuntu 20 droplet:

Install PHP libraries for the server by running the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

sudo apt update

sudo apt install curl

Check the version of curl installed by the command:

dpkg -l curl

You need to restart your webserver on which PHP is running: If you are using Apache server then use either of the following commands to restart the server:

sudo service apache2 restart

or

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Similarly, if you are using Nginx server, then use either of the following commands:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

or

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
