E: Unable to locate package php5-intl Ubuntu 16.04

By Emma Valentine

I try to update composer but got this error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. Problem 1 - The requested PHP extension ext-intl * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's intl extension. Problem 2 - The requested package bower-asset/admin-lte could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name. Problem 3 - The requested package bower-asset/font-awesome could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name. Problem 4 - The requested package bower-asset/html5shiv could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name. Problem 5 - The requested package bower-asset/jquery-slimscroll could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name. Problem 6 - The requested package bower-asset/flot could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

So I tried to install the php5-intl extension using: sudo apt-get install php5-intl. But sadly I got this error...

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

E: Unable to locate package php5-intl

So, what do I need to do to fix this problem? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

Ubuntu 16.04 comes with php7. So unless you've gone out of the way to install php5, you're trying to add a module in the wrong version.

Try...

apt-get install php7.0-intl
1

On my Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, and PHP5.6 below command works fine.

sudo apt-get install php5.6-intl
