How can I enable cURL for an installed Ubuntu LAMP stack?

Question

I have installed the Ubuntu LAMP stack. But cURL is not enabled, and neither can I can find the extension listed in the INI file. I added it manually, but it didn't work either.

How should I enable cURL then?

From Install Curl Extension for PHP in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

After installing libcurl, you should restart the web server with one of the following commands,

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

or

sudo service apache2 restart
