Tools download

Unzip the downloaded compressed file, through the cmd command into the directory where the Curl.exe.

Because bloggers are using a Windows 64-bit system, you can use the Curl.exe tool under I386.

Unzip the downloaded file, copy the i386/curl.exe file to C:\Windows\System32

You can then use the Curl command from anywhere in the DOS window.
