Hello everyone, I can’t install PHP 7 version on Ubuntu 14.04, I found the instructions, but half of those commands don't work, for example,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

Can anyone give instructions? Thank.

If you have a clean Ubuntu, then:

 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php7.0

If PHP is installed (for example php5), then:

 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get purge php5-common -y sudo apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-fpm php7.0-mysql -y sudo apt-get --purge autoremove -y

For versions: Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.10
Starting from Ubuntu 16.04 - PHP7 is set by default ...

  • Since yesterday, this does not work for me, writes E: Unable to locate package php7.0 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.0' After adding the repository, you can only install php5. And when installing php7.0 or php5.6 it says that there are no such packages. - TF03
