親測ubuntu16.04安裝成功。

步驟

1）下載curl包（可以在這個網站上找最新的版本 http://curl.haxx.se/download/）

wget https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.55.1.tar.gz

2）解壓

tar -xzvf  curl-7.55.1.tar.gz

3）覆蓋安裝

1 cd curl-7.55.1
2 ./configure
3 make
4 make install

4）使用 curl --version 檢查是否更新成功

根據這個步驟安裝過程中，如出現錯誤，如下，是因為許可權問題，使用sudo make install即可。
