Cannot install symfony project using composer

Question

I am trying to install symfony using composer. I am using the following command

sudo composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition /var/www/html/infinite-jest

But I am getting the following errors

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - sensio/distribution-bundle v3.0.12 requires sensiolabs/security-checker ~2.0 -> satisfiable by sensiolabs/security-checker[v2.0.0].
    - sensio/distribution-bundle v3.0.13 requires sensiolabs/security-checker ~2.0 -> satisfiable by sensiolabs/security-checker[v2.0.0].
    - sensio/distribution-bundle v3.0.14 requires sensiolabs/security-checker ~2.0 -> satisfiable by sensiolabs/security-checker[v2.0.0].
    - sensio/distribution-bundle v3.0.15 requires sensiolabs/security-checker ~2.0 -> satisfiable by sensiolabs/security-checker[v2.0.0].
    - sensiolabs/security-checker v2.0.0 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.
    - Installation request for sensio/distribution-bundle ~3.0.12 -> satisfiable by sensio/distribution-bundle[v3.0.12, v3.0.13, v3.0.14, v3.0.15].

What am I doing wrong and what should I do?

Are you running on linux or mac?

It seems that you don't have curl or php curl extension installed in your system. And it is now recommended to use the new installer for symfony

Not just recommended, it is required.

from the doc : "Using the Symfony Installer is the only recommended way to create new Symfony applications". But not the only one: in some cases like if you have only pHP 5.3 or want to use a legacy symfony version (1.x) you still have to go through composer

you've misinterpreted my comment. curl is not just recommended, it is required to use the installer.
