 * Hi Nami,
 * Plugin install are entirely handled by WordPress core (unless you’re using some
   other tool to perform them). What it does is download the zip from wordpress.
   org, unzip it, and move it into place. The plugin itself isn’t involved.
 * Please contact to your host provider or check PHP configuration for CURL.
 * Thanks in Advance,
    Tushar
