On your system, enter "man curl" and you should get full information about how to use the curl utility.

There are lots of browsers out there for linux/unix. You'll have to find out what is installed on your system.
If your problem is that you do not have a gui on your system (which is needed for most browsers) lynx is a text based browser.

Terminals do not work that way.
