install php70-gd on ubuntu

Question

Recently the new php7 has been released. However, when I am trying to install the gd package, the library can not be found.

I have tried through

sudo apt-get install php70-gd 

and

sudo apt-get install php70-php-gd

Does anybody have an idea if gd is available for php 7?

Answer 1

PHP7 packages for Ubuntu including php7.0-gd can be installed via PPA for PHP by Ondřej Surý:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update

Next, install the desired version:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.3-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.4-gd

EDIT:

As MacroMan stated, under Ubuntu 16.04 you don't need to add the repository any more. Simply issuing sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd works.
