I searched for curl on the cygwin packages part of their home page   I found this link http   cygwin com packages curl   But that wasn t helpful because I couldn t download anything  So I searched for the curl-7 20 1-1 cygwin on Google  I found this helpful site mirrors xmission com cygwin release curl   That site had a link to download curl-7 20 1-1 tar bz2  I unzipped it using 7zip  It unzips it into   user bin  or something so I had to find curl exe in the local  usr bin folder and put it into my  bin folder of c  cygwin  Finally I could use cURL   This drove me crazy  I hope it helps someone

I just ran into this   If you re not seeing curl in the list  see ibaralf s screenshot   then you may have out-of-date cygwin sources  In one of the screens in cygwin s setup exe wizard  you have the option to  Install from Internet  or  Install from Local Directory   If you have the   Install from Local Directory  option enabled  then you may not see curl in the list  Switch to  Install from Internet  and select a mirror and then you should see curl

In order to use the command-line version of curl  you need the curl executable  So  run the Cygwins Setup exe  and select curl  under Net- curl   That one uses libcurl3  which is located in Libs- libcurl3  But libcurl3 will be pulled in as a dependency if it s not already installed  So  just select Net- curl and you re good to go
