Installing Domain Checker 8.0: A Step-by-Step Guide

As we continue with the second part of our LAMP series, we'll be exploring how to install various versions of PHP on your Ubuntu system. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of installing PHP 7.4, PHP 8.0, and the latest PHP 8.1.

Before we begin, it's essential to note that PHP has different releases and versions available for use. This tutorial will cover the installation of these versions on Ubuntu-based systems, including Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 21.10, and even work with Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and similar distros.

In this article, we'll be installing PHP 7.4, PHP 8.0, and the latest PHP 8.1 on your Ubuntu system. Please note that not all versions are recommended for use. For instance, it's not recommended to install PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 20.04.

To begin with, let's first ensure that our system is up-to-date by running the following command:

```

sudo apt update

```

This will fetch and update the package list of your system.

Once updated, we can proceed with installing the desired version of PHP. For this example, we'll be installing PHP 8.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04.

To install PHP 8.0, run the following command:

```

sudo apt-get install php8.0-fpm

```

This will install PHP 8.0 along with the FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) module.

Once installed, you can verify that PHP 8.0 is running by checking its version:

```

php -v

```

This should display the version of PHP installed on your system.

Installing PHP 8.1 is similar to installing PHP 8.0. To install PHP 8.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04, run the following command:

```

sudo apt-get install php8.1-fpm

```

If you're using an older version of Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu 18.04, you can still install PHP 7.4. To do so, run the following command:

```

sudo apt-get install php7.4-fpm

```

Once installed, you can verify that the desired version of PHP is running by checking its version using the `php -v` command.

That's it! In this article, we've covered how to install various versions of PHP on your Ubuntu system, including PHP 7.4, PHP 8.0, and the latest PHP 8.1. Remember that not all versions are recommended for use, so be sure to check compatibility before proceeding with an installation.

For more information on upgrading to PHP 8.1 (or 8.0) on Ubuntu or other related topics, please refer to our How to Install and Optimize Apache on Ubuntu tutorial and How to Install MySQL/MariaDB on Ubuntu tutorial.

With this guide, you should now be able to install the desired version of PHP on your Ubuntu system. Happy installing!
