cURL command failure

Question

I am attempting to use curl commands in a batch file I am writing. I have downloaded the latest curl executable and run it but I cannot use the command \"curl\" What steps

Answer 1

You need to add it to the path environment variable. If you want to do it through batch then you can update the reg key it stores the directories in with curl.exe like this:

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "curlpath\curl.exe";%path%" /f

Or if the exe isn't dependent on any other files you could copy it to of paths existing directories like C:\Windows\system32.

Hope this helps!
