This is really frustrating. I keep getting this error when trying to run a standard curl command:

curl --url https://install.meteor.com | sh
curl: (48) An unknown option was passed in to libcurl

Anyone know how to fix it?

Just had this exact issue with Alpine Linux.

The fix was to install curl-dev in addition to curl.
