README.md

Install PHP 7.1 - Ubuntu

Assumptions

• Apache2 is already installed

Steps

Adding packages repositories and dependencies

# The original tutorial used this one:
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties

# Aparently the above has been obsoleted and we need to use this one:
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update -y

Checking

This should list some PHP packages

apt-cache pkgnames | grep php7.1

Installing

apt-get install -y php7.1 # and any other package you need
