Curl

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:

module avail curl

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

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

Loading

module local curl/latest
