One possible method to acquire the most recent version of curl using a shell script when the exact version is unknown is:
curl --version
to check the current version of curl installed on the system.curl https://curl.haxx.se/download/ | grep -o '/download/curl-[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]\.tar\.gz' | sort -r | head -n 1
to retrieve the URL of the most recent version of curl from the official download page.curl -LO <URL>
to download the tarball file of the most recent version of curl.tar -xf curl-*.tar.gz
to extract the contents of the tarball file.cd curl-*
to navigate to the directory of the extracted contents../configure && make && sudo make install
to compile and install the most recent version of curl.curl --version
again to verify that the installation was successful and the new version is now in use.Asked: 2022-01-08 11:00:00 +0000
