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
