How do I install the ext-curl extension with PHP 7?

I've installed PHP 7 using this repo, but when I try to run composer install, it's giving this error:

[package] requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.

With PHP 5, you can easily install it by running the yum or apt-get install php5-curl command, but I can't find how to install the PHP 7 equivalent.

How do I install ext-curl for PHP 7?

Solution 1:

Well I was able to install it by :

sudo apt-get install php-curl

on my system. This will install a dependency package, which depends on the default php version.

After that restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Solution 2:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

Solution 3:

If "sudo apt-get install php-curl" command doesnt work and display error We should run this code before install curl.

step1 - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
step2 - sudo apt-get update
step3 - sudo apt-get install php-curl
step4 - sudo service apache2 restart

Solution 4:

I tried the above solutions but it didn't work for me, just incase there any other person in the same shoes, this is what I did. I updated apt-get with the following command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

this i installed with php curl for the version of php that i was using, mine was

sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl

Solution 5:
