在Redhat 7.4上安装PHP Mcrypt Extension

Question

I have tried to install php mcrypt extension on redhat 7.4 using this command

yum install php-mcrypt

The following errors occured.

No package php-mcrypt available

server info Redhat 7.4, php version (5.4.16), Laravel 5.0

Can you help me how to install this extension?

Answer 1

It appears that php-mcrypt is part of EPEL (the officially unsupported set of packages maintained in Fedora branches). See these instructions for enabling EPEL:
