How to install GMP for PHP7 on Ubuntu
PhpUbuntuPhp Problem Overview
I was getting the following error when trying to run composer update on a SimpleSAML project.
- openid/php-openid dev-master requires ext-gmp * -> the requested PHP extension gmp is missing from your system.
Running sudo apt-get install php5-gmp did not work and neither did sudo apt-get install php7-gmp
Php Solutions
Solution 1 - Php
To install GMP for PHP7.0 on Ubuntu, run:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-gmp
Make sure your php.ini contains the following:
extension=php_gmp.so
To find out where your php.ini is located, run:
php --ini
Solution 2 - Php
For PHP 7.2:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gmp
Solution 3 - Php
The new way in PHP 7 to install extensions is to just write "php-EXTENSION" In this case it's as simple as:
sudo apt-get install php-gmp
Solution 4 - Php
For PHP 7.4:
sudo apt-get install php7.4-gmp
SO: Ubuntu 20.04
Solution 5 - Php
If you are running php 7.2 and above, then
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gmp
or you can as well install bcmath extension using
sudo apt-get install php7.2-bcmath
I recommend you install both of them, after complete install restart apache
sudo service apache2 reload
sudo service apache2 restart
Solution 6 - Php
Thank you it helps me. I use PHP 7.2. Therefore, I run:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gmpextension=php_gmp.so
Solution 7 - Php
apt-get install php7.1-gmp
That's it.
Solution 8 - Php
For docker based on official php images like php:7.2-fpm
Just add this to Dockerfile
RUN apt install -y libgmp-dev && docker-php-ext-install gmp
Solution 9 - Php
for centos
sudo yum install php-gmp
for ubuntu
sudo apt install php-gmp
also enable php extension in ini file
extension=php_gmp.so
Solution 10 - Php
UPDATE: apt-get has evolved over the years into just apt. On modern systems this will detect the php version, etc.
sudo apt install php-gmp
Solution 11 - Php
It's better to search using package or dependency manager installed in machine.
For yum, you can search using yum search gmp and then install.
yum search gmp
This will yield these search results
