Want to install PHP 8.0 as well as many PECL extensions in your Ubuntu Server? Well there’s a well trusted PPA that contains the packages for all current Ubuntu releases.<\/p>\n

Ond\u0159ej Sur\u00fd, a Debian Developer who maintains the official PHP packages in Debian, is maintaining an Ubuntu PPA<\/a> that contains the latest PHP 5.6, PHP 7.0, PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3, PHP 7.4, and PHP 8.0 packages as well as PECL extensions for all current Ubuntu releases.<\/p>\n

1.)<\/b> Simply open terminal or connect to your remote Ubuntu server, and run command to make sure software-properties-common<\/code> is installed:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install software-properties-common<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
2.)<\/b> Then run command to add the php PPA repository by running command:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/pre>\n
For non-UTF-8 locales, run LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/code><\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
3.)<\/b> If you are using php-gearman, you need to run command to add the gearman PPA:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/pkg-gearman<\/pre>\n
I’m using Nginx web server, and it’s recommended to add the Nginx stable PPA instead:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/nginx<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If you’re using Apache2, adding the apache2 PPA is recommended:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/apache2<\/pre>\n
4.)<\/b> Finally refresh system package cache and install php 8.0 packages via command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\n\r\nsudo apt install php8.0-fpm libapache2-mod-php8.0 php8.0-mysql php8.0-xml<\/pre>\n
There are also many other packages available, e.g., php8.0-amqp<\/code>, php8.0-apcu<\/code>, php8.0-memcache<\/code>, php8.0-memcached<\/code>, and more. Just add or remove package names after “sudo apt install” depends what you need.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In all previous commands, you can replace php8.0 with php7.4, php7.3, php7.2, php7.0, or php5.6 to install a specify version of PHP packages<\/b><\/p>\n
Uninstall PHP:<\/h3>\n
To remove an Ubuntu PPA, add --remove<\/code> flag in adding PPA command. For instance, remove php PPA via command:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej\/php<\/pre>\n
Instead of removing Ubuntu PPA, you can also purge PPA which also downgrade installed packages to the stock version in Ubuntu repositories.<\/p>\n
sudo apt install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:ondrej\/php<\/pre>\n
To remove a php package, simply run command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove Package_Name_Here<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
