How to Upgrade from php 7.4.3 to php 7.4.8 on Ubuntu

When working with PHP applications, particularly in frameworks such as Laravel, it's crucial to ensure that you are using the correct version of PHP that meets the requirements of your project. If you've encountered a situation where your Laravel project calls for PHP version 7.4.8 but your Ubuntu installation defaults to 7.4.3, you may find yourself in a bit of a predicament. Fortunately, upgrading your PHP version is quite straightforward, and in this post, we'll guide you through the process step by step.

Understanding the Problem

You've likely run into this issue while trying to run composer install in your Laravel project, only to be met with an error indicating that you need PHP version 7.4.8. The command sudo apt install php7.4 installs 7.4.3, which isn't compatible with your project's requirements. You want to upgrade to 7.4.8 without modifying the composer.json file, as it isn't your personal project.

Solution Overview

To upgrade PHP from 7.4.3 to 7.4.8, you will need to add a third-party repository that provides the latest PHP versions. The process involves a few commands in the Terminal, which we will outline below.

Step by Step Instructions

Note on Versions

Conclusion

Upgrading PHP on your Ubuntu system is a simple task if you follow these steps. By adding a third-party repository and installing the specific version of PHP required by your project, you can run your Laravel application without any version-related issues. Always remember to check your version compatibility and keep your development environment up-to-date for the best performance and security.

Now you’re all set to work with PHP 7.4.8 and get back to your Laravel project! Happy coding!
