I have installed a recent copy of XAMPP on Ubuntu 14.04. However, when I issue this command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
I get the following error messages:
-
The program 'curl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install curl
-
The program 'php' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install php5-cli
So what gives, how do I make my implimentation of curl and PHP "visible".
Thanks !

What it means is that you don't have curl installed and you need to install curl to use it. This can be done by going to a terminal CTRL + ALT + T then entering
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl
. This will install curl, php and the necessary libraries to provide you with the functionality that you need.After the installation has completed, restart the server with
sudo service apache2 restart
