<p>Thanks for pointing that out to me. Not sure why 16.04lts would be supported into 2021 while having PHP unsupported. </p>
<p>I'm trying to build a private server for just me to learn Magento 2. I have PHP 7.1 installed on Ubuntu 16.04 and I believe I've installed all the packages that are required by Magento 2. </p>
<p>Composer is hanging when I try to install Magento and I am not sure why...... This is a subject for another post. </p>

<p>I got to thinking... why would Ubuntu 16.04lts be supported into 2021 and have PHP 7.0 a part of the mix? There is no option to update to PHP 7.1.x. </p>
<p>Then I stated to think maybe they backport. Sure enough they do : <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports</a></p>
<p>Problem solved</p>

<p>That is a problem - PHP 7.0.</p>
<p>I started by installing Ubuntu 18.04lts and then found out that Magento 2 is not compatible with PHP 7.2. </p>
<p>With Magento 2 not being compatible with PHP 7.2... I tried installing PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu 18.04lts, however there is issues with unmet dependencies.</p>
<p>I'm a software developer not a system admin. I can do some stuff... I like to install what comes with the distro. I like Ubuntu... however this is not as clean as I'd like it to be.</p>
<p>Here is the message I get when trying to install PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu 18.04lts</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br /> php7.1-mcrypt : Depends: libmcrypt4 but it is not installable<br /> php7.1-zip : Depends: libzip4 (>= 1.0) but it is not installable<br /> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>This is "test" or learning server.... for me exclusively. I'd like to be able to use it for at least a year before re configuring.... </p>
<p>I need to load Magento 2, WordPress, and possible Drupal 8 onto this server</p>
<p>Any thoughts are much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thank you very much. After installing Ubuntu 18.04lts I found Magento 2 is not compatible with PHP 7.2.</p>
<p>I installed Ubuntu 16.04lts which is compatible. </p>
<p>Thank you for your help!!</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Setting up a test server for Magento 2. Requires bcmath. I can find no such package.</p>
<p>I am on Ubuntu 18.04lts that has PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 installed.</p>
<p>Tried using apt-cache pkgnames Bcmath and apt-cache pkgnames php7.2-bcmath , both return to the prompt w/o any feedback. </p>
<p>Been searching the web to no avail.....</p>
<p>Any suggestions appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
