I installed curl 7.77.0 with brew, but when I go to install other things with brew it fails to download on some things because its using the system version of curl which is 7.43.0. How can I make brew use the later version?

If you need to have curl first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/Admin/.bash_profile

For compilers to find curl you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/curl/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/curl/include"


For pkg-config to find curl you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig"

cat .bash_profile

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"

  • Hi @TimApple have you got /usr/local/bin in your path before /usr/bin - that will pickup whatever brew has installed. Yosemite has 7.43 of libcurl - see this answer over at Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/q/10343834/15310387. – Mr R Jul 01 '21 at 02:47
  • @MrR I have got /usr/local/bin in my path before /usr/bin. which curl gives me /usr/bin/curl though, the system installed version instead of the brewed one. Im on El Capitan. – Tim Apple Jul 01 '21 at 04:35
  • @JBallin 1. brew install libvorbis fails with the error "curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to downloads.xiph.org:-9836", due to the outdated system version of curl that brew keeps opting to use. 2. El Capitan – Tim Apple Jul 01 '21 at 04:39

  • Hi @TimApple - if you look in /usr/local/bin/ is there a link in there for curl? If not that's why it's picking up the wrong one ... And there's a way to fix that in the link aboove from JBaillin - HT DavidCompton for the solution – Mr R Jul 01 '21 at 08:30
  • @MrR As per the comment you referred to, I ran brew link curl --force to do that but It the output is Warning: Refusing to link macOS provided/shadowed software: curl If you need to have curl first in your PATH, run: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/admin/.bash_profile.

    I ran the suggested prompt by adding it to my path, and it still leaves me in the same position
