Reproducible curl binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows

  • We
    plan to stop
    building and distributing 32-bit Windows binaries on 2025-Aug-20.
    Custom 32-bit builds remain available with a deprecated,
    community-supported status. We recommend migrating to 64-bit Intel
    or ARM binaries.
  • Download our
    .tar.xz or .zip packages,PGP signed with:
    BDCF 067D 3908 B272 7A4A 9487 67C1 0037 40BF 8DC2
  • Standalone curl tool and libcurl DLL. Static libraries included.
  • Required: Windows Vista with
    Universal CRT
    (x64, ARM64 or x86), macOS 10.9 Mavericks (Intel or ARM),
    any Linux (amd64, arm64, RISC-V 64) with
    MUSL builds.
  • HTTP/3,
    HTTP/2 support,
    and more.
  • ARM64 Windows builds are
    Control Flow Guard
    enabled. Intel builds have
    CET
    enabled. All builds have frame pointers enabled.
  • Transparent builds, using open source code, run in
    public,
    with auditable logs.
  • LLVM/Clang build environment with
    mingw-w64 via
    Debian,
    Homebrew,
    MSYS2.
    llvm-mingw for ARM64.
  • Windows cross-built and published via
    AppVeyor CI. Linux built via GHA.
    Using reproducible OS image
    debian:testing-slim
    via Docker. macOS built via GHA.
  • Linux and macOS builds are not official curl builds.
  • We verify components using SHA-256, and PGP where provided.
  • We build reproducible binaries,
    producing the same hash given the same input sources and C compiler.
  • Patching policy: No local patches. We may apply patches if already merged
    upstream or — for showstoppers — had them submitted with fair
    confidence of getting merged.
  • You can look up our package hashes in lines starting with SHA in the
    build log.
  • Packages built across host platforms do not have identical hashes due to
    slightly different build options and toolchain builds/versions. Except
    llvm-mingw builds, which are reproducible across platforms. ARM64 and
    BoringSSL builds are such by default.
  • We code-sign with a self-signed certificate on Windows, and avoid trusted
    timestamps for reproducibility.
