Error on requireing CURL PHP extension with integrating Google OAuth with PHP on Ubuntu

Question

I am developing an application that requires integration with Google APIs Client Library for PHP. I am running on LAMP stack on Ubuntu. I have the application up and running on my local host. When I integrate the code from Google API PHP client I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Google CurlIO client requires the CURL PHP extension

I am unable to find help in any other forum. Can someone please point me to a solution to this. I suspect this could be somehow related to me developing and running the application in my local folder instead of var/www. I have added a file called mysite and pointing Apache to run from a local folder though.

Install php5-curl package from synaptic package manager. — Subin

CURL PHP extension is not installed on your PHP module of Apache server. You have to install it using terminal

Open Terminal (CTRL + ALT + T) and do the following command :

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

php5-curl will be automatically downloaded and installed. After Installation, Reload Apache2 Server :

sudo service apache2 reload

Just for clarification if you are using PHP7/Any PHP version you can simply execute

sudo apt-get install php-curl

this will download the appropriate extensions for your installed PHP,

In My case it downloaded php7.2 curl
