 * hi there,
 * thank you for providing this plugin. very helpfull!!
    i downloaded and installed
   it and just wanted to see how to start the authorisation/connection with the 
   existing google analytics account looks like. I dont want to activated it fully
   now because my site is still on test-invironment and so far also on the testserver.
   i get a error-message telling me “PHP CURL is required. ask your hosting provider
   to install/enable PHP CURL.” [i will attach a screenshot.](http://mreiner.bplaced.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/google_analytics_issue.jpg)
 * so my question is: What is this PHP CURL? And do i receive this message maybe
   only because the site is currently on a no name test provider hosted? I dont 
   see a similar problem in the support area of your pluginsite in wordpress.
    the
   final live website will be hosted on a big webspace provider. so maybe this question
   is not so important now and it will surely work later on live environment?
 * cheers and best,
    joerg

 * Hi,
 * Talk with your hosting provider. You need PHP cURL enabled.
