How to install MCrypt PHP Extension on CentOS 7.0 x64

use root user or sudo wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm yum install --enablerepo=“epel” php-mcrypt

Hello, all

First you’ll need to add the EPEL and REMi repository:

sudo yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

sudo yum -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

Then you go ahead and install the MCrypt extension:

sudo yum install php-mcrypt

If you haven’t installed PHP yet run this first:

sudo yum update

sudo yum install php php-cli

If you want to install the basic PHP extensions run this:

sudo yum install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-zip php-devel php-gd php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath php-json

The current PHP version should be 7.4. You can check the current verson using php -v

The expected output will be

$ php -v
PHP 7.4.0 (cli) (built: Nov 26 2019 20:13:36) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

To view enabled modules, run:

php --modules or the short version php -m

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
