I am trying to install curl on my ubunutu 14 server with php 7.2 installed. I run the following command:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

but it gives error:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package php7.0-curl

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.0-curl'

I then tried to resolve this issue by running commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0

But that also end up with same "Couldn't find package" error.

  • You want curl on PHP 7.2 while you install the php7.0-curl, try change it to `php7.2-curl` – catcon Jul 25 '19 at 06:25

  • Ubuntu 14 is now in security maintenance only support so you are not getting anything new. You also can not use Ondřej Surý' PPA because he only supports 16.04+. At this point in time you are probably best to update to a newer version of ubuntu. – Ne Ma Jul 25 '19 at 07:25

Your Ubuntu distro trusty is too old and those packages aren't available. You will have to build the library from the source by yourself.

Here you can find solution your problem How do I install the ext-curl extension with PHP 7?

Shortly, try to execute 

sudo apt-get install php-curl

Also you can use sudo apt-cache search curl which shows you available packages for installation.

Link you shared have exactly same commands which i tired and giving unable to locate package error. – farazch Jul 25 '19 at 06:57
