I have installed php7.4 via RHEL8's Default Stream using dnf.
I want to install the php's ssh2 module.
How do I install Pyrus (Pear2 Package Manager) on RHEL8 with php7.4?
When I tried: php pyrus.phar
I got the error message in command prompt: Could not open input file: pyrus.phar
I used:
updatedb
locate pyrus
Got nothing
So, what is the issue here?
Best Regards

I wanted to install php's ssh2 extension via Pyrus but I was having trouble with Pyrus. Therefore, I tried it without Pyrus. I preferred yum or dnf installation throughout. But, it was not possible for some. The following are how I have installed ssh2:
yum install make gcc php-devel php-pear
libssh2 package (ssh2 package needs it) installed by downloading the file https://libssh2.org/download/libssh2-1.10.0.tar.gz into an appropriate folder.
Then, I entered the following commands:
tar -zxvf libssh2-1.10.0.tar.gz
cd libssh2-1.10.0
./configure
make
make install
ssh2 package installed by downloading the file https://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2-1.3.1.tgz into an appropriate folder.
Then, I entered the following commands:
tar -zxvf ssh2-1.3.1.tgz
cd ssh2-1.3.1
phpize
./configure
make
make test
make install
Then I entered the following entry into /etc/php.ini: extension=ssh2.so
After that, I restarted php by: systemctl restart php-fpm
And now, php's ssh2 extension has been successfully installed.
I have been meaning to install ffmpeg as an extension to my PHP setup. So before I can install it, I need to phpize it. I installed php5-dev by sudo apt-get install php5-dev. But now when I run phpize I get the following error :
phpize
Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module
The location of my php.ini is /usr/local/zend/etc/php.ini
From another online resource I tried this
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool m4
But all of them are already installed.
Locate config.m4 didn't return anything.
Any pointers here how I can get phpize and thus, ffmpeg up and running?
For recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu (Debian 9+ or Ubuntu 16.04+) install the php-dev dependency package, which will automatically install the correct version of php{x}-dev for your distribution:
sudo apt install php-dev
Older versions of Debian/Ubuntu:
For PHP 5, it's in the php5-dev package.
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
For PHP 7.x (from rahilwazir comment):
sudo apt-get install php7.x-dev
RHEL/CentOS/yum
yum install php-devel # see comments
For PHP7 Users
7.1
sudo apt install php7.1-dev
7.2
sudo apt install php7.2-dev
7.3
sudo apt install php7.3-dev
7.4
sudo apt install php7.4-dev
If not sure about your PHP version, simply run command php -v
Ohk.. I got it running by typing /usr/bin/phpize instead of only phpize.
Under Redhat Enterprise / CentOS, use yum to install the php-devel module:
yum install php-devel
For PHP 7, you need:
yum install php70-php-devel
Step - 1: If you are unsure about the php version installed,
then first run the following command in terminal
php -v
Output: the above command will output the php version installed on your machine, mine is 7.2
PHP 7.2.3-1ubuntu1 (cli) (built: Mar 14 2018 22:03:58) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.2.3-1ubuntu1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies
Step 2: Then to install phpize run the following command, Since my php version is 7.2.3. i will replace it with 7.2, so the command will be,
sudo apt-get install php7.2-dev
Step 3: Done!
Alternate method(Optional):
To automatically install the phpize version based on the php version installed on your machine run the following command.
sudo apt-get install php-dev
This command will automatically detect the appropriate version of php installed and will install the matching phpize for the same.
Hmm... actually i dont know how this solved it? But the following steps solved it for me:
find / -name 'config.m4'
Now look if the config.m4 is anywhere in a folder of that stuff you want to phpize. Go to that folder and run phpize directly in there.
For ubuntu 14.04LTS with php 7, issue:
sudo apt-get install php-dev
Then install:
pecl install memcache
In Ubuntu 16.04, you can install phpize with the command
aptitude install php7.1-dev // for php 7.1
which is equivalent to
apt-get install php7.1-dev // for php 7.1
If you're having problems with phpize not found on CentOS7.x after you have installed the relevant devel tools for your version/s of PHP, this path finally worked for me:
For PHP 7.2.x
/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/phpize
For PHP 7.3.x
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/phpize
For PHP 7.4.x
/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/phpize
Run this in your folder containing the downloaded PHP extension, for example in line 3 below:
Example based on installing the PHP v7.3.x Brotli Extension from https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli
git clone --recursive --depth=1 https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli.git
cd /php-ext-brotli
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/php-config
make
make test
Install from linux terminal
sudo apt-get install <php_version>-dev
Example :
sudo apt-get install php5-dev #For `php` version 5
sudo apt-get install php7.0-dev #For `php` version 7.0
Of course in PHP7.2
sudo apt-get install php7.2-dev
This might help someone on ubuntu. No promises.
sudo apt-get install libcurl3 php5-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libmagic-dev
sudo apt-get install php-http make
sudo pecl install pecl_http
And adding "extension=http.so" to php.ini (Normally located at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini)
Then restart Apache (sudo service apache2 restart).
If in doubt, check your apache logs:
sudo su --
cd /var/log/apache2
tail -25 error.log
Is http.so starting or failing?
For instance, if you wanted to use the "phpize" command for PHP 5.6, you would use the full path:
Code:
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/phpize
For ubuntu with Plesk installed run apt-get install plesk-php56-dev, for other versions just change XX in phpXX (without the dot)
Go to the downloaded folder and there you find config.m4. Open the terminal and run phpsize.
I had this exact problem on macOS in 2018.
For me, first running brew install php before sudo pecl install mongodb did the trick.
You didn't specify what operating system you're using, and 90% of the answers assume Ubuntu/Debian Linux because of the apt-get install autoconf automake libtool m4 command that you posted (and over half expect you to be running CPanel), so I'm giving you a slightly more generic solution which ought to work on any Un*x clone (including Microsoft's WSL!).
You will need at least a few prerequisites:
A working C/C++ compiler — GCC or clang being the most popular options these days.
A 'developer edition' of PHP, which some package managers call 'development headers'. In the case of aptitude, as shown on the other answers, you ought to be fine with just sudo apt install php-dev. Beware of the mentioned caveats: you might end up with a slightly more unstable version of PHP which might not be updated correctly with future versions.
These days (that's late 2021 for me!), for those running Ubuntu, and wishing to seriously tinker with PHP, the recommendation is to use Ondřej Surý's personal package archive for PHP. Ondřej keeps his PPA always up to date, sometimes within a few hours after release; he keeps up with the latest four Ubuntu distributions and all the currently supported PHP versions that haven't reached end-of-life status yet (sorry, PHP5 is considered completely obsolete and plagued with unpatched bugs and security issues, so it's not supported — for very good reasons!); and he provides a lot of PHP extensions, too. Sadly, ffmpeg-php is not one of them...
There is a good reason for the overall lack of support of ffmpeg-php. Allegedly, the original repository for that was hosted at Sourceforge but has been abandoned in 2007. The recommended package these days is PHP-FFMpeg which is constantly being updated, and ought to be easily installed using composer — get it before starting your compilation!
Alternatively, instead of relying on an external non-official PHP extension (albeit one that is both popular and updated regularly!), you ought to launch the ffmpeg binary using shell_exec(). This is the officially recommended approach, mostly because converting videos always takes a long time, and the authors of that recommendation suggest a simple architecture where the PHP script basically launches ffmpeg in the background, accepting batches of videos for processing. The page is a bit old, but the technique shown is sound.
I am using XAMPP on Linux mint and it is by default installed if your don't have
sudo apt-get install php7.0-dev
// or
sudo apt-get install php-dev

I want to install the v8js extension for PHP5.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 but can't make it working.
When I try to install the v8js extension version 0.2.0 (latest) with PECL, I have this message:
configure: error: libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/v8js/configure --with-v8js' failed
If I try to install an old version, I have a compilation error. This message is very similar to my issue: Install v8js for php on ubuntu
How can I fix this issue?
EDIT: I couldn't install it on Ubuntu 14.04 with PHP5.5, even with a PHP downgrade with PHPbrew to PHP 5.4. However, using Ubuntu 12.04 with PHP 5.4 works great. I didn't try the downgrade from PHP 5.5 to 5.4 on Ubuntu 12.04.
in case you can't find libv8-dev or libv8-dbg, you can find the correct version by run command
~$ apt-cache search libv8
libv8-3.14-dbg - V8 JavaScript engine - debugging symbols
libv8-3.14-dev - V8 JavaScript engine - development files for 3.14 branch
libv8-3.14.5 - V8 JavaScript engine - runtime library
libv8-dev - V8 JavaScript engine - development files for latest branch
then you can run
~$ sudo apt-get install libv8-3.14-dev libv8-3.14-dbg g++ cpp
then you can try to install v8js via pecl by running
~$ sudo pecl install v8js-0.2.0
if that command return error like this
configure: error: libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/v8js/configure --with-v8js' failed
you can try to install v8js-0.1.3 instead by running
~$ sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3
then edit your php.ini to add v8js extension
~$ echo "extension=v8js.so" >> /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Open your terminal/console
sudo apt-get install libv8-dev libv8-dbg g++ cpp
Make an update sudo apt-get update
Try sudo pecl install v8js-0.2.0 (or other version i.e.: sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3)
Edit your php.ini (Check: Where is my php.ini file?) file by adding: extension=v8js.so.
Restart server
If it the extension still doesn't work, try to edit /etc/php5/conf.d/v8js.ini and add extension=v8js.so and restart server again.
Hope this helps.
These other answers work well and I used v8js-0.1.3 for the past 1.5 years but after needing to upgrade to PHP 7 I needed a better solution as v0.1.3 doesn't compile with PHP 7 (something to do with php_smart_str being renamed to php_smart_string).
After a couple hours of frustrating research and compiling libv8 myself, I didn't want to have to go through this whole process on every server I provisioned.
Anyway, I found this site which points you to a launchpad PPA site that provides a couple different ubuntu packages with the 5.1 and 5.2 libv8 libraries.
I ran these commands (please don't add repositories of 3rd party devs without understanding the risks).
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pinepain/libv8-5.2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libv8-5.2-dev
sudo pecl install v8js-1.1.0
(Thanks #JeyKeu for suggesting to add "apt-get update" to these commands)
I couldn't get v8js-1.3.0 or 1.2.0 to build, but 1.1.0 worked well. I checked the changelog and found that the latest updates are not necessary in my circumstance anyway.
stack: PHP 5.4.23, php-fpm, nginx 1.4.x, centos 6.5
I was trying to install xdebug, had to run phpize command.
I have php5-devl already installed and pecl command works
When I ran the command, it gave me the following error output:
# phpize
Can't find PHP headers in /usr/include/php
The php-devel package is required for use of this command.
How to fix this error?
I think you have not installed php-pear . I am not seeing it in that link.
You can do it by yum install php-pear
Info
You can install xdebug also using these steps
1) Install PHP’s devel package for PHP commands execution
yum install php-devel
Make sure you also have php-pear package installed
yum install php-pear
2) Install GCC and GCC C++ compilers to compile Xdebug extension yourself.
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
3) Compile Xdebug
pecl install Xdebug
4) Find the php.ini file using
`locate php.ini`
And add the following line
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
5) Restart Apache
service httpd restart
6) Test if it works – create test.php with the following code
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
The problem got solved by the PHP version that is used in the system.
My PHP Version was 5.6
So by running the following command I solved the problem
yum install php56-devel
Where "56" is your version of PHP.
If you're on PHP 7 such as in my case just installing php-devel won't solve your problems, but you'll need to install some additional packages:
yum install php-devel pcre-devel gcc make
And then you'll be able to follow Harikrishnan steps to get xdebug working (if not yet configured).
My problem hasn't been solved using
yum install php-devel
But this helped me to solve the problem:
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55 install php55-php-devel
I'm needing mailparse installed on my xampp.
I've done pecl install mailparse but I get an error that mbstring is not installed, but it is.. Or at least that is what phpinfo() says.
So I'm doing /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles: sudo ./bin/pecl install --nodeps mailparse
BUT.. when the make starts it fails with a big load of errors... How can I install mailparse on a xampp installation? Or maybe I could compile it? but not sure how, not in osx...
Any ideas?
Here you can see the complete trace done with sudo ./bin/pecl install --nodeps mailparse > dump
FIXED! if someone is interested on the solution, you must have installed devel-package of XAMPP, and run the pecl script having in mind that must be comipled for i386 arch.
sudo su -
export CFLAGS="-arch i386"
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pecl install --nodeps mailparse
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pear install pecl/mailparse
From: http://wiki.cerb4.com/wiki/Installing_PHP_Mailparse#Mac_OS_X_.28XAMPP.29
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pear install pecl/mailparse-2.1.6
Try this is if you have installed Php 5.X
If you got error like
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.
and then retry.
brew install autoconf
and run the command
