Check if You Already Have cURL

  • Default path: C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe

​

1. Download and Extract

  • Download curl for Windows: https://curl.se/windows

Recommended folders:
  • C:\curl
  • C:\Program Files\curl
  • C:\Program Files\tools
Do not move the folder once placed.

​
3. Add to PATH

Open a Windows PowerShell or CMD as Administrator.

​
Steps:

  1. Press Win and type environment

If the folder is not in PATH, you’ll need to navigate manually every time you use curl.
