curl is a command-line utility for transferring data from or to a remote server. With curl, you can download or upload data using one of the supported protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, SCP , SFTP , and FTP .

This article explains how to install Curl on Ubuntu 20.04.

Installing Curl on Ubuntu

If you get an error message saying _curl command not found_ when trying to download a file with curl, it means that the curl package is not installed on your Ubuntu machine.

curl is included in the default Ubuntu 20.04 repositories. The installation is pretty straightforward:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl

Once the installation is complete, verify it by typing curl in your terminal:

curl

The output will look something like this:

curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

That’s it! You have successfully installed curl on your Ubuntu machine, and you can start using it.
