Those are the official Windows builds, and they are provided by the curl-for-win project. Instead, click the large and prominent download links on this page. If, on the curl homepage, you click the large and prominent "Download" section in the site header, and then the large and prominent curl-7.62.0.tar.gz link in its body, you will have downloaded a curl source package, which contains curl's source code but not curl.exe.
It is too easy to accidentally download the wrong thing. Installing curl manually Downloading curl EDIT by a reader: Cygwin installer design has changed, please choose curl packages as follows:
For Cygwin, add the curl package in Cygwin Setup. If you are already using a package manager, it may be more convenient to install with one: If you have Git for Windows installed (if you downloaded Git from, the answer is yes), you have curl.exe under: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\ 
If you are on Windows 10, version 1803 or later, your OS ships with a copy of curl, already set up and ready to use.

Other OptionsI haven’t tried these for a while, but they might offer useful research opportunities. Mingw is a set of libraries that can be used to compile Unix applications for running on windows so they are often self-contained executables. curl.exe is in the \bin folder and if I can run curl from this folder or add it to the path. the 7.59 MinGW version from Viktor Szakats. but you have to be able to extract cab files properly. the SSL enabled cab file 7.59.0 from Stefan Kanthak.

Install it with a one click installerIf you prefer graphical installers then the one click installer from confused by code seemed to work well. Install it using ChocolateyAssuming you have Chocolatey installed. 
I’ve had a few questions from people working through my book “ Automating and Testing a REST API” on who were experiencing difficulties installing cURL on Windows. I remember cURL being easier to install than it currently seems to be. TLDR cURL requires an install on Windows, but it isn’t always easy unless you use a one-click installer or Chocolatey.
