Mac - Can't Install HomeBrew because Curl is Missing

I tried to install homebrew onto my mac, but I couldn't because curl wasn't found. I typed:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

This returned this error:

-bash: curl: command not found

So, I tried to install curl but apparently to install curl, I need to use curl? This is what I found:

Run in Terminal app:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Run:
brew install curl

Done! You can now use curl.

However, this uses curl to install curl, so it gives the same error message: -bash: curl: command not found

TL;DR, how do I install curl on mac without using curl

Is wget installed ?

no I need homebrew for that which I need curl to install.

Does /usr/bin/curl exist ?

this is a X -> Y problem. You need homebrew, and think you need curl to install homebrew. The point is that you need to download from a URL, and you should consider there could be other ways to download from that URL, that is the reason @Aserre asked if it is wget installed.

I solved the problem!

To use bash on mac:

Go to terminal ––> preferences

Click on Shells open with: and set it to Command (complete path)

Enter one of the following:
- /bin/bash
- /bin/csh
- /bin/zsh
- /bin/zsh-4.0.4 (Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier)
- /bin/zsh-4.1.1 (Mac OS X 10.3 or later)
- /bin/ksh (Mac OS X 10.4 or later)

/bin/ksh worked for me

This indicates that you've broken your PATH for bash somehow... curl is available by default in macOS - since 2001! You could just have use the full path to curl instead: /usr/bin/curl.
