First thing to do  Check for the PHP version your machine is running  Command Line  php -version This will show something like this  in my case    PHP 7 0 8-0ubuntu0 16 04 3  cli    NTS   Copyright  c  1997-2016 The PHP Group  If you are using PHP 5 x x   gt  run command  sudo apt-get install php5-curl If PHP 7 x x   gt  run command  in my case   sudo apt-get install php7 0-curl Enable this extension by running  sudo gedit  etc php 7 0 cli php ini  And in the file  quot php ini quot  search for keyword  quot curl quot  to find this line below and change it from   extension php curl dll  To   extension php curl dll  Next  save your file  quot php ini quot   Finally  in your command line  restart your server by running  sudo service apache2 restart
