Hello everyone, I’m a jr. software developer and I need to install this pre-requisites before being able to upload a e-ecommerce site into my server.
It’s my first time using DigitalOcean, can someone instruct me into doing so? I really appreciate it!
steps I’ve taken:
- followed every step in this tutorial to create and configure the basics of the server: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-ubuntu-18-04#step-3-—-installing-php
This are the theme requirements:
Make sure you’ve sudo privilege on the server and access to command line tool and also have full access to the MySQL database.
PHP & Extensions PHP version >= 7.2 OpenSSL MySQLi sqlite3 PDO_sqlite PDO SQLite Mbstring Tokenizer XML Ctype JSON cURL Fileinfo ZipArchive exif GD pcntl memchached
Apache Be sure to enable the mod_rewrite module so the .htaccess file will be honored by the server. If you’re using a shared hosting be sure the symlink() function is enabled on our server. Some shared server disable this function.
Configuration ( php.ini ) post_max_size=512M or more upload_max_filesize=512M or more max_execution_time=300 or more

@KFSys hi there, thanks for the answer but I’m trying to install a laravel theme.

Hi @305gm,
Installing the said extensions can be done in a few simple steps.
I’ll assume you’ve installed Apache already, however, in case you haven’t I’ll recommend following the mentioned tutorial in your Question to do so.
Firstly, to be able to install a certain PHP version, in this case, 7.2 you’ll need to add a certain repository to your system
Update the repository index.
Now, I do recommend installing 7.3 rather than 7.2 as it’s newer and recommended from WordPress as a whole. Install PHP 7.3 with the below command.
The following extensions are required to install and run WordPress on Ubuntu. WordPress recommends having PHP v7.3 for the installation.
The above are the required extensions for your WordPRess installation as for the theme itself, you can run the following command as well
That’s it, you now have your PHP version installed.
Regards, KFSys
