 `cpr` can be added as an extension by adding the following lines to your bazel MODULE file (tested with Bazel 8). Edit the versions as needed.
 ```starlark
 bazel_dep(name = "curl", version = "8.8.0.bcr.3")
-bazel_dep(name = "platforms", version = "0.0.11")
-bazel_dep(name = "zlib", version = "1.3.1.bcr.5")
