    You can using EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) to install that.

    # install EPEL with yum
yum -y install epel-release
# install php-mcrypt
yum -y install php-mcrypt

rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

Are you trying to install the REPL repository on your droplet? If so, try running the following commands:

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
yum install --enablerepo="epel" php-mcrypt

Does that work?

Find and edit php.ini. On ubuntu its in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Add this in php.ini

extension=mcrypt.so

Restart apache

I managed to get it installed and working using the following commands…

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install libmcrypt-devel

If you are running the default PHP installation you will want to run the following command as well…

sudo yum install php-mcrypt

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest**

am thinking of writing off my whole project because of that, any help will be appreciated

This might help, It works on me on my centos 7 x64
To install mcrypt just enter this command:
sudo yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64

To search for packages just do this command:
yum search php-

If you find the package that you’ve been looking for, and want to install it just do this command:
sudo yum install <package name>
