How to solve ‘libcurl’ not found with Rails on Windows

Answer that worked for me (W10/Ruby2.6.0) was:

  1. Download cURL from the following URL: https://curl.haxx.se/windows/ (I chose 64bit because that’s the system I’m using)
  2. Go into the archive and browse to /bin
  3. Locate libcurl_x64.dll (it may be just libcurl.dll)
  4. Extract to your local drive
  5. Rename it to libcurl.dll if it has the _x64 suffix
  6. Cut + paste the file into the /bin directory of your Ruby installation
