When I try curl it works however when I do it with https, it gives this error:

curl: (1) Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl

I've searched for various answers but none explains how to fix it?

Please install curl with SSL

Download:

• curl Releases and Downloads

Installing with SSL:

• Unzip -> open terminal inside the directory PATH and type:

  ./configure --with-ssl
  make
  sudo make install

You can also specify the path to SSL installation, see ./configure --help for details

A quick google found this curl FAQ on troubleshooting this problem.

But I actually would suggest to delete your current manual install of curl, and just install it with sudo apt-get install curl. The default Ubuntu install has the right libraries for https (and many more).
