guzzle: composer fails with "requires ext-curl" when cURL is installed

I’m 100% positive I have curl installed - I use it often, and have for many hears. That said, when I run composer from the Tumblr PHP API (which has guzzle as a dependency), it fails with:

Loading composer repositories with package information

Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

For windows with PHP7: find ;extension=php_curl.dll in your php.ini and remove the “;”.

sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl for php 7.3 One thing, I want to mention here for this particular extension you have to specify your php version that you can find out by php -v and replace with above 7.3 with your current configure/installed version.
