How to get CLI curl to run on debian lenny

I have a machine running on debian lenny.
I need to be able to use curl from the command line, but it's just not available.
When I try to use it, I get:

curl: command not found

What exactly do I need to install in order to have this command?

UPDATE:

I tried running apt-get install curl and got the following:

and then

 xxxxx:~# apt-get install curl 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: curl: Depends: libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages

and then:

and

I need to miss something important here ...

GIVE ANOTHER UPDATE:

this is what he says when running apt-get install libcurl3

 xxxxx:~# apt-get install libcurl3 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.
