 * Hi there I am having trouble activating a wordpress plugin “[https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-web-services/&#8221](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-web-services/&#8221);
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * The official Amazon Web Services SDK requires PHP 5.3.3+ and cURL 7.16.2+ compiled
   with OpenSSL and zlib. Your server currently has no PHP cURL library activated.
 * I am on Ubuntu LAMP stack, I have checked that cURL is installed –
 * php -v outputs – PHP 7.0.19-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+2 (cli) (built: May 22 2017
   13:29:59) (NTS) Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
 * curl -V outputs curl 7.35.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.35.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1f
   zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.28 librtmp/2.3 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http 
   https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp Features:
   AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP
 * Not sure what the issue is? anyone help? Thx
