To solve this issue you need to install php-curl
For php5: sudo apt-get install php5-curl
For php7.0: sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
For php7.1: sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl

Hi,
When I'm trying to install composer require pusher/pusher-php-server following the instruction in: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/broadcasting
When I enter the above command I receive the following:
vagrant@homestead:~/Code/chatapp$ composer require pusher/pusher-php-server Using version ^2.6 for pusher/pusher-php-server ./composer.json has been updated Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1 - pusher/pusher-php-server v2.6.0 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system. - pusher/pusher-php-server 2.6.3 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system. - pusher/pusher-php-server 2.6.2 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system. - pusher/pusher-php-server 2.6.1 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system. - Installation request for pusher/pusher-php-server ^2.6 -> satisfiable by pusher/pusher-php-server[2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.6.3, v2.6.0].
