Cannot install using "composer require educoder/pest"

[jpforcioli]

This is the error I get when attempting to install educoder/pest on my system:

$ composer require educoder/pest
Using version ^1.0 for educoder/pest
./composer.json has been created
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for educoder/pest ^1.0 -> satisfiable by educoder/pest[1.0.0].
    - educoder/pest 1.0.0 requires lib-curl * -> the requested linked library curl has the wrong version installed or is missing from your system, make sure to have the extension providing it.


Installation failed, deleting ./composer.json.

My system is Ubuntu Desktop:

The composer error message is misleading, asking for "lib-curl" when it really needs php-curl. The command below fixed it for me on Raspian Jessie.

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

I have the same issue on a vbox hosted ubuntu server (PHP7). I've installed PHP7 curl but nothing doing.
