We're getting closer to actually installing our Laravel project. But Laravel is a PHP framework, and guess what - we don't have PHP installed on the server yet. Let's fix this.
- Time to review our requirements once again, and determine which Ubuntu packages we need to install:
As per Laravel requirements:
- BCMath PHP Extension -
php8.1-bcmath- provides arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Ctype PHP Extension -
php8.1-common- checks whether a character or string falls into a certain character class according to the current locale - cURL PHP Extension -
php8.1-curl- allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of protocols - DOM PHP Extension -
php8.1-xml- allows you to operate on XML documents through the DOM API with PHP - Fileinfo PHP extension -
php8.1-common- functions in this module try to guess the content type and encoding of a file - JSON PHP Extension -
Always available- implements the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data-interchange format - Mbstring PHP Extension -
php8.1-mbstring- provides multibyte specific string functions that help you deal with multibyte encodings - OpenSSL PHP Extension -
openssl- library for symmetric and asymmetric encryption and decryption - PCRE PHP Extension -
Always available- PHP Core library with JIT support - PDO PHP Extension -
php8.1-common- defines a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases - Tokenizer PHP Extension -
