Command ‘curl’ not found on Ubuntu 20.04

The following error message may appear on your terminal hinting the unavailability of the curl command:

Command 'curl' not found, but can be installed with:
OR
bash: /usr/bin/curl: No such file or directory
  1. To resolve this issue first try to install the curl command. First and the most obvious installation method is to execute the following command:
    $ sudo apt install curl
    
  2. In case the curl command is still not found check whether the curl binary executable exists:
    $ ls  /usr/bin/curl
    /usr/bin/curl
    

    Check if you can execute the command using a full path:

    $ /usr/bin/curl --version
    curl 7.66.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.66.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1d zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.20.2 (+libidn2/2.0.5) libssh/0.9.3/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.40.0 librtmp/2.3
    
  3. Next, ensure the path to the curl is a part of your executable shell path:
    $ echo $PATH
    /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
    
  4. Lastly, you may try to reinstall the curl command:
    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure curl
