install curl on ubuntu to use hirak/prestissimo with composer

Question

I try to installhirak/prestissimo packages because my composer is very very very slow. I use

composer global require hirak/prestissimo

But I got this error. I found another solution on StackOverflow but I still can't fix that.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for hirak/prestissimo ^0.3.6 -> satisfiable by hirak/prestissimo[0.3.6].
    - hirak/prestissimo 0.3.6 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - /etc/php/5.6/cli/php.ini
    - /etc/php/5.6/cli/conf.d/10-mysqlnd.ini

Answer 1

curl doesnt stay in php.ini

for ubuntu you need install it from terminal

install it like this

sudo apt-cache search php-curl

 sudo apt-get install php(version of php you are using)-curl

Answer 2

So far, it's cURL issue. You've to install cURL and enable it.
sudo apt-cache search php-curl and get your version number from there. Install by typing sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl. This should work.
