I have "Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS" OS and trying to install PHP7 using command: 

sudo apt-get install php-7.0

Getting error message: 

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php-7.0
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php-7.0'

sudo apt-get install php7.0
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php7.0
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.0'

How it can be fix Please advise.

  • Your command doesn't match the output, since it has `php-7.0` and the output has `php7.0`. Aside from that, there is no package with a name like that in the standard repositories. Are you trying to use a PPA? If so, perhaps https://askubuntu.com/a/705893/147763 can help. – Olathe Jan 02 '16 at 10:51
  • @Olathe: I have also tried commands: **sudo apt-get install php-7.0** and **sudo apt-get install php7.0** – Ramesh Chand Jan 02 '16 at 10:57

PHP 7 is not available for Ubuntu Trusty in the standard Ubuntu repositories (2016-01-02).

You could use the PPA ppa:ondrej/php

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0

    PHP6 doesn't exist, see [the PHP website](http://php.net/) – wb9688 Jan 02 '16 at 14:18

    Not only does PHP 6 not exist, the naming scheme will change to php5.5, php5.6, etc. in coming versions. – muru Jan 02 '16 at 16:25
  • Need `phpmyadmin`, there is no `php7.0-phpmyadmin`, `php5.6-phpmyadmin` or `php5.5-phpmyadmin`, nor `phpmyadmin` compatible with your php. – happy_marmoset Oct 24 '16 at 07:21

    Does not work anymore on ubuntu 14. Not sure why but come up with errors `E: Unable to locate package php7.0 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.0'`. – George Mylonas May 10 '19 at 09:47
  • getting this `Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package php7.2 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.2'` – Vishwas Nahar Jul 12 '19 at 07:27

    @GeorgeMylonas - this is because the developer (ondrej) who puts together the php7 repo does not support EOL (end of life) releases (i.e. Ubuntu 14). – KJH Oct 15 '19 at 15:53
