Dotdeb.org have the PHP 5.4 series available for installation on Debian based OS’s, you can either do it manually or use my installation script I wrote to make the process easier. All you need to do is run:
curl https://wade.one/blog/wp-content/uploads/php54.sh | sudo bash
And it’ll do the rest for you! Feel free to just download the .sh file if you like to see it’s not malicious. Contents are below too:
#! /bin/bash echo "Adding dotdeb apt repositories" echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list echo "deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze-php54 all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list echo "deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze-php54 all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list curl -s http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg | apt-key add - echo "Updating apt" apt-get -y update echo "Installing PHP" apt-get -y install php5 php5-cli
You should not leave posts up like this. Its out of date and no longer works on Ubuntu 12.10
Fair point, but it is a blog – so a post has a date and is relevant at that point in time 🙂
This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
(well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
