PHP error: "Zip and unzip installations are missing, skipping."

When I run composer update , I get this error message:

 Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Failed to download psr/log from dist: The zip extension and unzip command are both missing, skipping. The php.ini used by your command-line PHP is: /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini Now trying to download from source

What do I need to do to enable the zip and unzip commands so that the composer can load the dependencies?

Depending on your version of Linux and PHP, they may be different.

 (sudo) yum install zip unzip php-zip (sudo) apt install zip unzip php-zip

This is a very frequently asked question, you can find more useful information on the air by searching for <distro> php <version> zip extension .

For Debian Jessie (which is the current default value for the PHP image on the Docker Hub):

 apt-get install --yes zip unzip php-pclzip

You can omit -yes, but this is useful when you run it in a Docker file.

On the docker with the php:7.2-apache image, I just needed zip and unzip. No need for php-zip:

apt-get install zip unzip

or dockerfile

 RUN ["apt-get", "update"] RUN ["apt-get", "install", "-y", "zip"] RUN ["apt-get", "install", "-y", "unzip"]

Actually, at present, composer seems to work without the zip command line, so php-zip installation should be enough, BUT a warning will be displayed:

Since the unzip command is not installed, zip files are unpacked using the PHP zip extension. This can lead to incorrect reporting of corrupted archives. Installing 'unzip' may fix them.

See also. Is there a problem using php-zip (the composer warns about this)
