Question:
How do I install the {curl} package?

Answer:
The {curl} package from v6.0.0 onwards requires a C++17 compiler. The existing Posit Workbench environment does not provide a C++17 compiler. The solution is to install v5.2.3 of the {curl} package.

Additional context
Posit Package Manager can be used to install the binary of {curl} v5.2.3 with:

remotes::install_version("curl", "5.2.3")
