[FIXED] Upgrade php 7.4.3 to php 7.4.8

Issue

When I am running composer install on my laravel project it requires php v 7.4.8 but on my ubuntu system when I am installing php7.4 using sudo apt install 7.4 it's installing the version 7.4.3 instead of latest php 7.4.8

I don't want to change the configuration composer.json because as it is not my personal project

How can I upgrade php version from 7.4.3 to 7.4.8

Solution

You might need to add thirdparty repository to install latest php version if it's not available in ubuntu main repository. Run following commands to add repository and install php version:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php7.4.8

Replace the version in the last command if you want to install any other version of php.
