install php70-gd on ubuntu

Recently the new php7 has been released. However, when I am trying to install the gd package, the library can not be found.

I have tried through

sudo apt-get install php70-gd 

and

sudo apt-get install php70-php-gd

Does anybody have an idea if gd is available for php 7?

Solution 1:

PHP7 packages for Ubuntu including php7.0-gd can be installed via PPA for PHP by Ondřej Surý:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update

Next, install the desired version:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.3-gd
# or
sudo apt-get install php7.4-gd

EDIT:

As MacroMan stated, under Ubuntu 16.04 you don't need to add the repository any more. Simply issuing sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd works.

Solution 2:

just try

sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd 

i got it working that way. Greetings.

Solution 3:

In 2018, there is an alias package for this:

sudo apt-get install php-gd

Use this to retrieve the last version.

Solution 4:

my php version is 7.1

sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd

this command is work for me
