cURL command failure

问题:

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 should I take to use it correctly? The Command line still says

"curl is not recognized as an internal or external command, able program or batch file"

I am not interested in doing anything else with cURL

You will have to add the directory containing curl.exe to your path, probably the bin directory. In Windows XP you can do this by:

1. Right click your computer and choose properties
2. Click the advanced tab
3. Click environmental variables
4. Find path in the list and add the path to your curl directory

Steps to install curl in windows

Install cURL on Windows

There are 4 steps to follow to get cURL installed on Windows.

Step 1 and Step 2 is to install SSL library. Step 3 is to install cURL. Step 4 is to install a recent certificate

Step One: Install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables

Download Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables.

Step Two: Install Win(32/64) OpenSSL v1.0.0k Light

Also from http://www.shininglightpro.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html For 64bit systems Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.0k Light For 32bit systems Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.0k Light

Step Three: Install cURL

Depending on if your system is 32 or 64 bit, download the corresponding** curl.exe.** For example, go to the Win64 - Generic section and download the Win64 binary with SSL support (the one where SSL is not crossed out). Visit http://curl.haxx.se/download.html More specific Link: http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=win64-ssl-sspi

Copy curl.exe to C:\Windows\System32

Step Four: Install Recent Certificates

Do not skip this step. Download a recent copy of valid CERT files from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem Copy it to the same folder as you placed curl.exe (C:\Windows\System32) and rename it as curl-ca-bundle.crt

If you have already installed curl or after doing the above steps, add the directory where it's installed to the windows path:

1 - From the Desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
2 - Click Advanced System Settings .
3 - In the System Properties window click the Environment Variables button.
4 - Select Path and click Edit.
5 - Append ;c:\path to curl directory at the end.
5 - Click OK.
6 - Close and re-open the command prompt

回答3:

Looks like its not on your path - try opening a new console window.

回答4:

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!
