I am running a script and I have this Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/accesspress-social-login-lite/twitter/twitteroauth.php on line 189

it appears curl is not enabled in my install, how may I go about it?

    to get the list of all available php modules on my server, I typed

    aptitude search php7-

    No list showed up: Then I typed 

    aptitude search php5-

    and the full list of modules was displayed. Then I ran the command below:

    aptitude install php5-curl

Depending on your distribution, install curl with one of the following:

On CentOS or other yum based package systems

  • yum install php-curl
  • yum install curl

On Debian or other apt-get based package systems

  • apt-get install curl
  • apt-get install libcurl
  • apt-get install php-curl

I haven’t used php7 as of yet. However, as newbie states above, you might try installing curl using apt-get install php7-curl or yum install php7-curl.
