When I run a composer update I get this error message:
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Failed to download psr/log from dist: The zip extension and unzip command are both missing, skipping.
The php.ini used by your command-line PHP is: /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
Now trying to download from source
What do I need to do to enable the zip and unzip commands so that composer can download dependencies?
Depending on your flavour of Linux and PHP version these may vary.
(sudo) yum install zip unzip php-zip
(sudo) apt install zip unzip php-zip
This is a very commonly asked question, you'll be able to find more useful info in the aether by searching <distro> php <version> zip extension.
For servers with PHP 5.6
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php5.6-zip
Not to belabor the point, but if you are working in a Dockerfile, you would solve this particular issue with Composer by installing the unzip utility. Below is an example using the official PHP image to install unzip and the zip PHP extension for good measure.
FROM php:7.4-apache
# Install Composer
COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer
# Install unzip utility and libs needed by zip PHP extension
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
zlib1g-dev \
libzip-dev \
unzip
RUN docker-php-ext-install zip
This is a helpful GitHub issue where the above is lovingly lifted from.
For Debian Jessie (which is the current default for the PHP image on Docker Hub):
apt-get install --yes zip unzip php-pclzip
You can omit the --yes, but it's useful when you're RUN-ing it in a Dockerfile.
For older Ubuntu distros i.e 16.04, 14.04, 12.04 etc
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php7.0-zip
I had PHP7.2 on a Ubuntu 16.04 server and it solved my problem:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php-zip
Update
Tried this for Ubuntu 18.04 and worked as well.
I'm Using Ubuntu and with the following command worked
apt-get install --yes zip unzip
In case you're using a locale development environment like XAMPP, just locate the php.ini file (C:\xampp\php in my case), open it and remove the semicolon from the following line.
;extension=zip
Restart your Apache webserver and it will work fine.
On docker with image php:7.2-apache I just needed zip and unzip. No need for php-zip :
apt-get install zip unzip
or Dockerfile
RUN ["apt-get", "update"]
RUN ["apt-get", "install", "-y", "zip"]
RUN ["apt-get", "install", "-y", "unzip"]
If you are using Ubuntu and PHP 7.2, use this...
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php7.2-zip
I got this error when I installed Laravel 5.5 on my digitalocean cloud server (Ubuntu 18.04 and PHP 7.2) and the following command fixed it.
sudo apt install zip unzip php7.2-zip
For PHP8.2 (Windows)
As stated here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php#zip.installation.new.windows
As of PHP 8.2.0, php_zip.dll DLL must be enabled in php.ini. Previously, this extension was built-in.
You will need to manually enable this extension within your php.ini by adding extension=php_zip.dll
For a list of installed extensions you can run:
php -m
or if you have grep installed even easier would be:
php -m | grep "zip"
Actually composer nowadays seems to work without the zip command line command, so installing php-zip should be enough --- BUT it would display a warning:
As there is no 'unzip' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the
PHP zip extension.
This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives. Installing 'unzip' may
remediate them.
See also Is there a problem with using php-zip (composer warns about it)
PHP-ZIP needs some dependancies or library missing, depends on the image from Dockerfile you need to install them first
RUN set -eux \
&& apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y libzip-dev zlib1g-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-install zip
PHP 8.1
apt-get install --yes zip
The shortest command to fix it on Debian and Ubuntu (dependencies will be installed automatically):
sudo apt install php-zip
Try this for PHP 7.4:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php7.4-zip
And for PHP 8.0:
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php8.0-zip
After run
apt install php-zip
and run again
composer require ...
I get the next warning and suggestion
As there is no 'unzip' nor '7z' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the PHP zip extension.
This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives. Besides, any UNIX permissions (e.g. executable) defined in the archives will be lost.
Installing 'unzip' or '7z' (21.01+) may remediate them.
As there is no 'unzip' nor '7z' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the PHP zip extension.
This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives. Besides, any UNIX permissions (e.g. executable) defined in the archives will be lost.
Installing 'unzip' or '7z' (21.01+) may remediate them.
So I suggest install unzip first.
apt install unzip
Please check your composer status first
composer diagnose
If the status showing
zip: extension not found, unzip not available, 7-Zip not available
then
Open your XAMPP Server
Apache -> config button ->Click "PHP(php.ini)"
Find "zip"
";extension = zip will shown
Remove the semicolon and save the file
Restart your XAMPP Apache
Now
composer create-project laravel/laravel <<project_name>>
or
laravel new <<project_name>>
apt-get install zip
I'm running a docker container and this helped me
docker-compose exec app apt-get install zip
install 7 zip from this site https://www.7-zip.org/download.html this software unzips the files for you and solvesd the errors
I am new to Laravel. I want to composer install the code but I get the error. Does anyone know how to solve it?
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires php-mime-mail-parser/php-mime-mail-parser ^7.0 -> satisfiable by php-mime-mail-parser/php-mime-mail-parser[7.0.0].
- php-mime-mail-parser/php-mime-mail-parser 7.0.0 requires ext-mailparse * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's mailparse extension.
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- D:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.3.21\php.ini
You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
The mailparse extension does not yet support PHP 7.3 or 7.4.
You need change your PHP version
https://serverpilot.io/docs/how-to-install-the-php-mailparse-extension/
Install Mailparse on PHP 7.0, 7.1, or 7.2
To install this extension on PHP 7.X, SSH in to your server as root and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get -y install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config
sudo pecl7.X-sp install --nodeps mailparse
sudo bash -c "echo extension=mailparse.so > /etc/php7.X-sp/conf.d/mailparse.ini"
sudo service php7.X-fpm-sp restart
I am trying to create a laravel project with this:
Nicoles-MacBook-Pro:htdocs nicolekajatt$ composer create-project laravel/laravel guia-telefonica

I have tried this tutorial to fix this but the problem stills
http://laravel.io/forum/02-08-2014-difficulty-installing-laravel-getting-error-mcrypt-php-extension-required?page=1
What can i do? Thanks for the help
Following steps were helpful for me on Ubuntu:
Install php5-mcrypt using:
apt-get install php5-mcrypt
Activate mcrypt extension:
php5enmod mcrypt
Make sure it is loaded:
php -i | grep mcrypt
you should see mcrypt support => enabled if it is activated.
If you are on a Macintosh, try tho following:
cd ~ ; mkdir mcrypt ; cd mcrypt
Get libmcrypt 2.5.8 from Sourceforge.
Get the php code in a tar.gz or .bz2 format - (find your version of PHP by running php -v)
Move both of these files that you downloaded into your working directory – mcrypt in this instance and go back to Terminal
cd ~/mcrypt
Expand both files by double clicking on them in the Finder.
Remove the compressed archives
Change directory into libmcrypt
cd libmcrypt-2.5.8
./configure
make
sudo make install
With the libmcrypt configured and libraries now installed, time for to make the mcrypt extension.
If you see any Autoconf Errors
cd ~/mcrypt
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz
tar xvfz autoconf-latest.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.69/
./configure
make
sudo make install
Compile mcrypt php Extension
cd ../php-5.4.17/ext/mcrypt/
/usr/bin/phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
Open /etc/php.ini and add the line below at the end
extension=mcrypt.so
If there is no php.ini file, then you need to make one from php.ini.default in the same location like so:
sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini
And allow write capability
sudo chmod u+w /etc/php.ini
Then add the line as above in your favourite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/php.ini
Finally Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart
Now you should be able to install Laravel.
SOURCE: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/install-mcrypt-php-mac-osx-10-9-mavericks-development-server/
If you are using Macports, this works:
via http://rowdydesign.com/blog/2014/04/using-php-composer-under-mac-os-x-with-macports
run in Terminal
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/php54 /opt/local/bin/php
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/php-config54 /opt/local/bin/php-config
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/phpize54 /opt/local/bin/phpize
and change php54 to whatever version of php you are using, ie php53, php55
On OS X, you can install the mcrypt extension via Homebrew, i.e.
$ brew install php56-mcrypt
(You may want to brew search mcrypt to find the version appropriate for your version of PHP.)
After doing this, composer ran successfully for me.
Use this command to create project
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "5.2.*"
I am trying to install laravel via composer ( http://laravel.com/docs/quick#installation ) and I got stuck at the point where it requires Mcrypt extension
Mcrypt PHP extension required.
I installed Mcrypt extension using brew. But still it throws the same requirement error.
I also tried changing the path as suggested here but my which php doesn't show anything other than
/usr/bin/php
Am I doing something wrong with assigning path at ~/.bash_profile? why is "which php" output still the same. and why is mcrypt installation not working on laravel workout?
What command did you use to install mcrypt? It is possible that you try to install the mcrypt extension for the wrong php version.
Try debugging the situation with
php -v
and
ls -al /usr/bin/php
There is a different install recipe for version 5.5 and 5.4 of PHP.
brew install php54-mcrypt
brew install php55-mcrypt
OK, I was fed up off all other solutions which weren't working, so finally downloading and compiling php from source itself worked.
So here's what I did:
Download php from official site
Follow following instructions
cd to/extracted/php/folder
cd /ext/mycript
phpize
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
Add extension=mcrypt.so to /etc/php.ini file.
Now restart the server
sudo apachectl restart
You are good to go, Cheers! :)
I would like to install Zephir on my Ubuntu machine.
The goal is to convert some of my existing code into a PHP extension, in order to get the benefits of faster execution.
Any pointers are more than appreciated.
Install zephir in Ubuntu..
You need download Zephir-master from https://github.com/phalcon/zephir
You nedd download json-c from https://github.com/json-c/json-c
1) sudo apt-get install gcc make re2c phpX phpX-json phpx-dev libpcre3-dev
2) Open folder Json-c
2.1) sh autogen.sh
2.2) ./configure
2.3) make && make install
3) Open folder zephir-master
3.1) ./install -c
4) zephir help for to test the correct installation
Please note Zephir is currently in Alpha stage and therefore bugs can be expected.
You need to have certain packages installed:
json-c
re2c
In the command line type:
sudo apt-get install libjson0 libjson0-dev libjson0-dbg
sudo apt-get install re2c
Once you have the required packages installed, you can generate the parser as follows:
./generate
Compile the extension (this is your code):
./zephir
The code produced is placed in ext/, there you can perform the standard compilation:
cd ext/
sudo ./install
