I am getting this error.

laravel/framework v5.4.9 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is 
missing from your system.

sudo apt-get install php-mbstring

But I am still getting the same error when I run composer install I am using laravel 5.4 and PHP 7.2.34

Did you uncomment it in php.ini? – biesior May 26 '21 at 16:54
you mean this `;extension=mbstring` ? – Niklesh May 26 '21 at 16:55
yes, you need to remove comment (semicolon) from the beginning, after save of course it requires Apache's restart – biesior May 26 '21 at 16:56
probably you didn't install it for the correct PHP version. – Vijay Rathore May 26 '21 at 17:00
@VijayRathore what is the correct way to install mbsring for PHP `7.2.34` – Niklesh May 26 '21 at 17:09
@biesior: I uncommented and restarted apached too. but still getting error: `laravel/framework v5.4.9 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.` – Niklesh May 26 '21 at 17:10
`sudo apt-get install php-mbstring` should take care of all the settings, as long as you installed PHP from the same source. Is it actually installed? It should show up when you type `php -m` (command-line) or in `phpinfo()`. – Álvaro González May 26 '21 at 17:10
`sudo apt-get install php7.2-mbstring` – Vijay Rathore May 26 '21 at 17:11
Ensure you are installing the correct version of the extension for your PHP version, and also that you are restarting the web server and/or PHP-FPM after making changes. – miken32 May 26 '21 at 17:28
