6 GB DDR3-RAM
2 x 1.000 GB SATA II

open terminal and use the following command to install, but before installing run

Quote:

sudo apt-get update

then this

Quote:

sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

make sure you are connected to a working internet connection, after this you should have installed curl extension for php.
Now you have PHP Curl installed, the next thing you need to do is to restart apache2, run the following command in your terminal:

Quote:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

if there was no error then that means you installed curl successfully
if your problem was solved click solved to end it, if not post the error you get when trying to do what you intended to do.
