Answer 1

Following the steps one mentioned above, solved my problem.

sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev

pip install pycurl

Answer 2

This is a problem indeed. No need to update pip or easy install as it's often advised, well it won't hurt to update but you will still have the problem until you :

1. install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev packages
2. pip install pycurl

Worked the same in Linux

Answer 3

I had the same problem. I was able to install it with easy_install instead:

easy_install pycurl

For easy_install, see setuptools .

Answer 4

Here are easy steps I did to get around this:

1. Download the wheel of the version you want here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

2. then you can pip install that like so:

   pip install C:\\sample\\sample_dir\\whl_file_downloaded

You should know be able to import in your python files

Answer 5

要遵循的步骤：

1. brew install openssl

2. PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" pip install --no-cache-dir pycurl

Answer 6

使用 conda 安装 pycurl，conda 将安装所有依赖项，希望它有效

conda install -c anaconda pycurl

Answer 7

For Linux Please install the libcurl-devel package and then try. It will work.

Answer 8

So has said by Hai Vu you need to install cURL first. Here is the dowload page : http://curl.haxx.se/download.html I suggest you install it in your C:/ directory, or if you already installed it elsewhere copye the curl.exe file to your c:/

When done, you can try it by going to the cmd prompt :

cd c:/
curl "your-curl-request"

If it works then curl is correctly installed and you can install pycurl with pip.
