Guzzle: composer fails with "requires ext-curl" when cURL is installed

[moagrius]

I'm 100% positive I have curl installed - I use it often, and have for many hears. That said, when I run composer from the Tumblr PHP API (which has guzzle as a dependency), it fails with:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)

Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

This sounds like a composer issue and not specific to Guzzle. I think you'll get better support for this by opening the ticket on composer/composer.

I assume you're running this from the command line? What's the output of var_export(extension_loaded('curl'));?

[stloyd]

• First, it's not a problem of Guzzle, it's more like Composer.
• Second did you check the php.ini used by CLI not by webserver?
• IIRC that command tell you where to look for that file used by CLI:

$ php --ini

[moagrius]

@mtdowling @stloyd thanks both for the quick reply.

curl was loaded for web server but not cli, per @stloyd. thanks both, sorry for the confusion.

apt-get install php5-curl

[clausche]

apt-get install php5-curl ... thank you Drakun

[goliney]

sudo apt-get install php5-curl worked for me! Thanks a million.

[pmsteil]

If you happen to be running on Codio, you must run this command:

parts install php5-curl

[ronaldaraujo]

@DRAKUN Perfect! Thanks!

[informaticosgb]

[JoseCage]

[yuvraj339]

Thanks you @DRAKUN

[ruhulsw]

if you use php7 then use apt-get install php-curl

[framm]

Thanks @ruhulsw !!

[LarryMarzanJr]

if you are using php 5.6 then

apt-get install php5.6-curl

[kamaroly]

if you are using php7.1 then it should apt-get install php7.1-curl

[mizan3008]

For anyone who uses php7.0

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

[simplyniceweb]

For windows with PHP7:
find ;extension=php_curl.dll in your php.ini and remove the ";".

[Samgithub1997]

Thanks @ruhulsw @mizanur-rahman

[mohitpawar10]

sudo apt-get install php-curl
worked for me! for php 7.1

[hariom-prajapati]

Just sudo apt-get install php-curl resolved my problem.

[UbuntuEvangelist]

sudo apt-get install php-curl works for me :)

[lucasdelavrapinto]

First: apt-get update
After: apt-get install php-curl

[Jagdeep-Sing]

PHP 7.0:     sudo apt-get install php-curl
PHP 5.6:     sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
PHP 5.5:     sudo apt-get install php5.5-curl

[serup]

I had similar issue on windows and it turned out I needed to add following line in my php.ini file:
extension=php_curl.dll

it turns out that curl was not installed correct, hence not capable for composer to fetch the necessary files for guzzle

[r9software]

has someone fixed this on mac?

[Paul-digitalquill]

I am still having the same problem with raspberry pi.

[zlocorp]

has someone fixed this on mac?

Try composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl for php 7.3
One thing, I want to mention here for this particular extension you have to specify your php version that you can find out by php -v and replace with above 7.3 with your current configure/installed version.

[ajadi473]

sudo apt-get install php7.3.*-curl for php 7.3

This worked for me

[aacassandra]

for php 7.4
sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl
