I am using this command sudo apt-get install php7.4-gd

E: Unable to locate package php7.4-gd
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.4-gd'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.4-gd'

I am trying to install a gd library in php7.4 but can't install it. The above error is shown in the terminal.

    I'm just guessing that, since Ubuntu is based on Debian, version 7.4 of PHP isn't available yet on the stable branch. Check with `sudo apt search php7.4`. If that is the case, you'll need to install from an upstream repository. Preferrably from [Sury](https://deb.sury.org/). – Code4R7 Jul 02 '21 at 07:16

If you're Ubuntu version is < 16.04:

// Adding some compiled PHP extensions to your repository list
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update

Then properly install the GD extension

sudo apt-get install php7.4-gd
