I need to make my Ubuntu 16.04. Is there a way using the GUI or is the simplest way to do this by using terminal?

I have already installed PHP 7.1, MariaDB.

I need to enable:

  1. OpenSSL PHP Extension
  2. PDO PHP Extension
  3. Mbstring PHP Extension
  4. Tokenizer PHP Extension
  5. XML PHP Extension

    What's the exact question here? What keeps you from installing the list of extensions as you usually do it, and as it is documented on many tutorials? – Nico Haase Jan 24 '20 at 10:23

The Laravel server requirements specify the PHP extensions, including BCMath, Ctype, cURL, DOM, Fileinfo, JSON, Mbstring, OpenSSL, PCRE, PDO, Tokenizer, and XML, are required. These extensions are usually included and enabled during a PHP installation.

You can use the following command in Ubuntu to check the necessary extensions.

sudo apt install openssl php-bcmath php-curl php-json php-mbstring php-mysql php-tokenizer php-xml php-zip

Installation specific to a particular version of PHP (such as PHP 8.2)

sudo apt install openssl php8.2-bcmath php8.2-curl php8.2-json php8.2-mbstring php8.2-mysql php8.2-tokenizer php8.2-xml php8.2-zip

Additional PHP extensions may require for your composer packages. Refer to the links below for more information.

    Does it uncomment ";" in my php.ini? – Aipo Nov 26 '16 at 07:28

    If not you can find the ini file here ```/etc/php/7.x/apache2/php.ini```. Edit and restart Apache. – Madan Sapkota Nov 26 '16 at 07:38

    Are you sure that php-common and php-zip are needed? I found that `sudo apt-get install php-mbstring php-xml unzip` was enough. I could be wrong though – Chris Dec 29 '18 at 11:23
  • @Chris at least mbstring depends on common. It will be installed by apt when you confirm to do so. Laravel does not need zip AFAIK, but composer is happy about it. – RiWe Jan 24 '20 at 10:51
