You need Curl installed on your system. Try running this in a command line terminal:

sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev

Then give the package installation another try.

@Mike Thanks i already tried this but getting error :

... Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl4 (= 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.8) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

...

Thanks

Sounds like you need to find out why the package manager won't install libcurl4 for you. There are many possible reasons for that, and I'm not sure I can really off useful suggestions remotely.

I would approach this by using Synaptic Package Manager to take a look at what is conflicting with that package and try to resolve the conflict. There are some tips in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#Troubleshooting and take it slowly as it's easy to create an even worse mess by randomly removing things.
