Answer 1

This is caused because you don't have a library php5-curl installed in your system,

On Ubuntu its just simple run the line code below, in your case on Xamp take a look in Xamp documentation

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

For anyone who uses php7.0

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

For those who uses php7.1

sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl

For those who use php7.2

sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl

For those who use php7.3

sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl

Or simply run below command to install by your version:

sudo apt-get install php-curl
