I tried several pattern but this one finally work. Basically this problem arise because of unfinished installation in your OS. By the way, my OS is Xubuntu. (Ya. Old Soul)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aptitude

after finishing all the steps run :-

sudo aptitude install curl

I think this one help some people. Thank you !!

curl is a linux utility that is run as a command from bash. This is not installed in your system. You can obvs install it by 

sudo apt-get install curl       //for ubuntu, etc.

PHP curl command does the same thing but is a utility of PHP. When you install php in your system, it gets installed.
*I don't really know, but I think you installed php through LAMP

If you run something like:

shell_exec(curl *url*)

through php, it won't execute because you are trying to run curl from shell, which is not installed.
