This common issue can be easily resolved with a few simple steps. In this guide, we&#8217;ll walk you through the process of fixing the &#8220;phpize not found&#8221; error and getting back on track with your PHP development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;phpize not found&#8221; error typically occurs when you&#8217;re attempting to compile and install a PHP extension from source using the <code>phpize<\/code> command, but Ubuntu is unable to locate the <code>phpize<\/code> executable. This can happen due to missing PHP development tools or incorrect paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps to Fix &#8220;phpize not found&#8221; Error<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s dive into the steps to resolve this issue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install PHP Development Tools<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, ensure that you have the necessary PHP development tools installed on your system. You can do this by installing the <code>php-dev<\/code> package using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo apt-get install php-dev<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This package includes <code>phpize<\/code> along with other development files required for compiling PHP extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Locate phpize Binary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After installing <code>php-dev<\/code>, try locating the <code>phpize<\/code> binary on your system. You can use the <code>which<\/code> command to find the path to <code>phpize<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ which phpize<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If the command returns a path (e.g., <code>\/usr\/bin\/phpize<\/code>), it means <code>phpize<\/code> is now installed and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Update Environment Variables<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If <code>phpize<\/code> is still not found, it&#8217;s possible that the directory containing <code>phpize<\/code> is not included in your <code>PATH<\/code> environment variable. You can add it manually by editing your <code>.bashrc<\/code> or <code>.bash_profile<\/code> file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ export PATH=&quot;$PATH:\/usr\/local\/bin&quot;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace <code>\/usr\/local\/bin<\/code> with the directory containing <code>phpize<\/code> if it&#8217;s different on your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Restart Terminal or Source File<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After updating your environment variables, restart your terminal or source the <code>.bashrc<\/code> or <code>.bash_profile<\/code> file to apply the changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$  source ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Verify phpize<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, verify that <code>phpize<\/code> is now accessible by running the command again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ which phpize<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see the path to <code>phpize<\/code> displayed in the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these steps, you should be able to fix the &#8220;phpize not found&#8221; error on your Ubuntu system and successfully install PHP extensions. Remember to ensure that you have the necessary PHP development tools installed and that the <code>phpize<\/code> binary is accessible via your <code>PATH<\/code> environment variable. With these adjustments, you can continue your PHP development journey without any hindrance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve encountered the frustrating &#8220;phpize not found&#8221; error while trying to install PHP extensions on your Ubuntu system, fear not!
