About
-----

`Curl`_ is used in command lines or scripts to transfer data.

.. note:: Each login and compute node has a baseline installation of Curl. The package collection maintained by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 includes it. Unfortunately, the version of the baseline Curl installation is rather old, which requires installing the latest versions in the software repository of Discoverer.

Supported versions
------------------

To check which versions of Curl are currently supported on Discoverer, execute on the login node:

.. code-block:: bash

 module avail curl

The compilation process adopted for compiling the code of Curl is based on the following published recipes:

https://gitlab.discoverer.bg/vkolev/recipes/-/tree/main/curl

The referenced repository also contains log files containing all the messages emitted during the configuration, compilation, and installation of Curl on Discoverer.
