"curl: command not found" on Debian 10 with PHP 7.3 installed successfully?

Question

I have a Debian 10 VPS where I'm configuring for use for an internal app. At the moment I'm installing a monitoring package for the server which requires me to use curl. Running the command returns the following error:

-bash: curl: command not found

The server itself runs PHP 7.3, and I went to run the command apt-get install php7.3-curl, which returned the following message:

php7.3-curl is already the newest version (7.3.4-2).

I could install the PHP 5.6 version of curl, but I don't want to be in this situation - especially as PHP 7.3 Curl is already installed.

Am I missing something from my configuration?

`php7.3-curl` is not curl. curl has its own package. – Gerald Schneider Jul 24 '19 at 13:47 — Gerald Schneider, Jul 24 '19 at 13:47
Don't you need cURL `curl`, instead of php-curl? – Lenniey Jul 24 '19 at 13:47 — Lenniey, Jul 24 '19 at 13:47

php7.3-curl is the package to do curl in php. If you want to use curl directly in terminal you need install curl (apt-get install curl)
