Question

I am attempting to use curl commands in a batch file I am writing. I have downloaded the latest curl executable and run it but I cannot use the command “curl” What steps should I take to use it correctly? The Command line still says

“curl is not recognized as an internal or external command, able program or batch file”

I am not interested in doing anything else with cURL

Answer 1

You will have to add the directory containing curl.exe to your path, probably the bin directory.
In Windows XP you can do this by:

1. Right click your computer and choose properties
2. Click the advanced tab
3. Click environmental variables
4. Find path in the list and add the path to your curl directory
