On Windows 10 or newer, Curl comes with an operating system. The executable file curl.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder and, accordingly, is accessible through the PATH environment variable and can be called from anywhere. All you need to use Curl is to run Command Prompt as administrator and execute Curl commands. For older versions of Windows 7 and 8, you will need to download and unpack Curl from the official website. In the bin folder, you will find the curl.exe file and libcurl library. You can add the bin folder to your PATH environment variable so you can execute Curl commands from anywhere.
Wget vs Curl: What's the Difference?
Both Wget and Curl are good at making HTTP and FTP requests without using a web browser or other interactive application. The main difference between Wget and Curl is that Curl, along with the command-line tool, also offers a powerful cross-platform library (libcurl) with an extended API, supports over 25+ protocols, and works on all modern platforms. At the same time, Wget is just a command-line tool that downloads data as files and only offers support for HTTP requests, but Wget has a strong side - the ability to download recursively.
