## Linux Setup {#linux_setup_title}
|
|
|
|
Most GNU/Linux distributions come with PHP available from the official repositories, but those packages usually are a little behind the current stable version. There are multiple ways to get newer PHP versions on such distributions.
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu-based distributions
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu and Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions, for instance, the best alternatives for native packages are provided and maintained by [Ondřej Surý][Ondrej Sury Blog], through his Personal Package Archive (PPA) on Ubuntu and DPA/bikeshed on Debian. Find instructions for each of these below.
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu distributions, the [PPA by Ondřej Surý][Ondrej Sury PPA] provides supported PHP versions along with many PECL extensions. To add this PPA to your system, perform the following steps in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
1. First, add the PPA to your system's software sources using the command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. After adding the PPA, update your system's package list:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will ensure that your system can access and install the latest PHP packages available in the PPA.
|
|
|
|
### Debian-based distributions
|
|
|
|
For Debian-based distributions, Ondřej Surý also provides a [bikeshed][bikeshed] (Debian equivalent of a PPA). To add the bikeshed to your system and update it, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure that you have root access. If not, you might need to use `sudo` for the following commands.
|
|
|
|
2. Update your system's package list:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Install `lsb-release`, `ca-certificates`, and `curl`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install lsb-release ca-certificates curl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Download the signing key for the repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo curl -sSLo /usr/share/keyrings/deb.sury.org-php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Add the repository to your system's software sources:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.sury.org-php.gpg] https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Finally, update your system's package list again:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With these steps, your system will be able to install the latest PHP packages from the bikeshed.
|
|
|
|
### RPM-based distributions
|
|
|
|
On RPM-based distributions (CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, etc.) you can use the [Remi's RPM repository][remi-repo] to install the latest PHP version or to have multiple PHP versions simultaneously available.
|
|
|
|
There is a [configuration wizard][remi-wizard] available to configure your RPM-based distribution.
|
|
|
|
All that said, you can always use containers or compile the PHP source code from scratch.
