About the project

curl is transfer tool that speaks dozens of protocols and is present on most systems. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

Typical distribution routes

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Before you start

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

A quick sanity check

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.
