How to install Zip Extension for PHP 7.4 on CentOS 8

I’ve installed the php 7.4 on new system CentOS 8 but I’ve discovered that the ZIP extension is missing or not installed so I don’t know how to install with the new commands belongs to CentOS 8.

These steps I’ve done before:

> dnf module list php

# ---- OUTPUT ---- #	
php                         7.2 [d][e]                        common [d], devel, minimal                        PHP scripting language
php                         7.3                               common [d], devel, minimal                        PHP scripting language
php                         7.4                               common [d], devel, minimal                        PHP scripting language


> dnf module reset php

> dnf module enable php:7.4

> dnf module update php:7.4

> shutdown –r now

Thanks

Hello, @HadyShaltout

You can follow our tutorial on How To Install Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP (LAMP) Stack on CentOS 8

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mariadb-php-lamp-stack-on-centos-8

To enable the EPEL repository for centOS 8

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

To install zip and other necessary extensions:

  1. dnf install php74-zip

After the installation is finished, you’ll need to restart the Apache webserver in order to enable the PHP module:

  1. sudo systemctl restart httpd

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
