Composer install error - requires ext_curl when it's actually enabled

Question

I\'m trying to install Facebook PHP SDK with Composer. This is what I get

$ composer install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installin         


        

Answer 1

I have Archlinux with php 7.2, which has Curl integrated, so no amount of configuration voodoo would make Composer see ext-curl, that PHP could see and work with happily. Work around is to use Composer with --ignore-platform-reqs.

eg composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
