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

Question

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

• [package] requires ext-cu

Answer 1

Well I was able to install it by :

sudo apt-get install php-curl

After that restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart
