How do I install and use cURL on Windows?

I am having trouble getting cURL to run on Windows.

I have downloaded a cURL zip file from here, but it seems to contain source code, not an executable.

Do I need to compile cURL to run it? If yes, then how do I do that?

Where can I find .exe downloads for cURL ?

I have looked for documentation on installing cURL, but there is little to be found.

Starting with Windows 10 version 1803 (and earlier, with insider build 17063), you don't install curl anymore. Windows includes a native curl.exe (and tar.exe) in C:\Windows\System32\, which you can access right from your regular CMD.
