title: Cannot Install cURL on Windows 7 (64-bit) Library Issues
body: <p>I am unable to install cURL on Windows 7, 64-bit version. After viewing multiple tutorials, I am told to do the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Download cURL from website (<a href="https://curl.haxx.se/download.html" rel="nofollow">https://curl.haxx.se/download.html</a>)</li>
  <li>Create a 'curl' directory at the base of the C drive (C:\curl)</li>
  <li>Place the <strong>curl.exe</strong> file from download into 'curl' directory (C:\curl\curl.exe)</li>
  <li>Visit certificate page (<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html" rel="nofollow">http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html</a>)</li>
  <li>Download <strong>cacert.pem</strong> file and rename to <strong>curl-ca-bundle.crt</strong></li>
  <li>Place <strong>curl-ca-bundle.crt</strong> file into 'curl' directory (C:\curl\curl-ca-bundle.crt)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>At this point the file structure should look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\
      - curl.exe
      - curl-ca-bundle.crt
  </code></pre>
  
  <ol start="7">
  <li>Right-click Computer and select 'Properties'</li>
  <li>Click "Advanced system settings" on the right navigation bar</li>
  <li>On System Settings window, click "Environment Variables..." button at bottom</li>
  <li>Under "System Variables" section, click "Path" variable and click "Edit..."</li>
  <li>At the end of this path, enter ";C:\curl" and click OK</li>
  <li>Return to Command Prompt and enter your curl command</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>For myself, I am testing a URL for my Angular Project with both Express and MongoDB installed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl --data 'title=test&amp;link=http://test.com' http://localhost:3000/posts
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Regardless of whether my code works or not, the cURL command returns the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl:./.libs/lt-curl.c:233: FATAL: couldn't find curl.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas is to my issue OR an alternative to installing cURL on a Windows 7 64-bit machine?</p>
