Unfortunately, you cannot run cUrl from Apex. It's an open source tool. See also the following page:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/intro_curl.htm
It states that cUrl is not supported by Salesforce.
Can you post your code and the error you get? That way we can help you fix your issue with your Apex code.

Thanks for your reply. I am able to connect with third party system. But i have a new problem like i am not able to update the third party as i need to use PATCH method. But HTTP Request class is not supporting PATCH method. Is there any way that i can acheive this. Please give me some ideas.
Thanks.
Yes, unfortunately the PATCH method is not supported (yet). I've had the same issue a while ago.
We solved it on the other end, by adding support for a POST call to the rest api. I hope this is also an option for you, that would be the easiest way.
Otherwise, you will have to use some form of middleware that turns your POST message into a PATCH message to the endpoint and passes back the response to Salesforce.
Hope this helps!

I have found a way to do that:
You can just add '?_HttpMethod=PATCH' as a query string parameter to the endpoint and make a regular POST request.
That will work.
Good luck!
