In Ubuntu 16.04 default PHP version is 7.0, if you want to use different version then you need to install PHP package according to PHP version:

  • PHP 7.4: sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl
  • PHP 7.3: sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl
  • PHP 7.2: sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl
  • PHP 7.1: sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl
  • PHP 7.0: sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
  • PHP 5.6: sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
  • PHP 5.5: sudo apt-get install php5.5-curl
