Install cURL
cURL is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols, like HTTP and HTTPS. It's a favorite among developers. Among other things, developers use cURL for:
- Quick testing: make HTTP requests with a single command.
- Automation: can seamlessly be integrated into scripts and automation workflows.
- Debugging: easily see requests and responses.
Assignment
Most Unix-based systems, including macOS and Linux, come with cURL pre-installed. Check if you have cURL installed. Open a terminal and type:

If you see a version number, you're good to go.
Run and submit the CLI tests.
If you don't have cURL installed, install it:
