Question

ubuntu

In Ubuntu 16.04 I install PHP, I want to install additional. modules, I type a command to see the list of available modules (apt-cache search php- | less), a list appears, there is php-cli and php7.0-cli, what is the difference between them and which one to install?

Answer 1

In different manuals on 16.04 they write differently. Personally, I install php7.0-cli.

dpkg --get-selections | awk '/php/{print $1}' | xargs dpkg-query --show $1
