I am running PHP 7.2 on an Apache server on Ubuntu, and I need to add the PHP SoapClient. However, when I try to install it using apt-get, I get the following error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php7.2-soap : Depends: php7.2-common (= 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2) but 7.2.26-1+ubuntu19.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I've tried the following before reattempting:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get upgrade-dist
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
If it helps, when I run uname -r the output is
5.0.0-37-generic
Thanks in advance!
After a looooong time tackling this issue I finally got my head around it and found a solution :)
It seems the issue is I was using the ppa:ondrej/apache2 PPA which was installing the latest version of a selection of PHP packages, which at the time of writing is using PHP7.2.27. As far as I can tell, the most up-to-date version of the php7.2-soap package is for php7.2.24, meaning there is an unmet dependency for the php7.2-common package provided by the PPA.
So, the solution was to remove the PPA and downgrade the PHP packages. Here's a step by step for any poor souls who might encounter a similar issue:
First, if not already installed, install aptitude sudo apt-get install aptitude
Next, install ppa-purge:
mkdir ppa-purge && cd ppa-purge && wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/ppa-purge/ppa-purge_0.2.8+bzr56_all.deb && wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/a/aptitude/aptitude_0.6.6-1ubuntu1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb
(I ran this in my user folder, i.e. ~/
Then I remove the PPA with the following commands:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ondrej/apache2
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/apache2
sudo apt-get autoclean
Now we need to downgrade the dependencies. First I determined which version I needed. The package that was causing the unmet dependency was php7.2-common, so I ran sudo apt list -a php7.2-common. I chose the version which matched the original error message, in this case, 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2.
So you are able to install a specific version by following the package with a = then a version number. If you, like me, are working on a live server, I'm going to shout this next bit about the next command you will write:
DO NOT USE THE -y TAG!!
CHOOSE "NO" WHEN IT ASKS YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE!!
If you do any of these, it will automatically remove any dependencies for php7.2-common and the PHP stop working on your site.
To determine which dependencies we need to update along with php7.2-common, I ran sudo apt-get install php7.2-common=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2. It then showed me a list of other packages it would remove as well. I copied these dependencies then chose 'n' to cancel the install.
Next, I put the copied list into a text editor and used it to create the following script:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-common=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
libapache2-mod-php7.2=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-bcmath=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-bz2=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-cgi=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-cli=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-curl=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-dev=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-enchant=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-fpm=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-gd=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-imap=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-intl=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-json=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-ldap=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-mbstring=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-mysql=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-odbc=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-opcache=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-pspell=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-readline=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-tidy=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-xml=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-xmlrpc=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 \
php7.2-zip=7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.2
Finally, I ran this command. Instead of warning me about removing the packages, it warned me that these packages would be "downgraded", which is fine. I pressed Y and it reinstalled all the packages and viola! I was then able to install php7.2-soap :)
See these links which I credit to finding a solution for this:

I have a similar issue one month ago with a Debian 9 and PHP 7 Did you consider to upgrade your PHP to the latest stable version before installing the PHP Client ?
I just wanted to test something out real quick. So I ran a docker container and I wanted to check which version I was running:
$ docker run -it ubuntu
root#471bdb08b11a:/# lsb_release -a
bash: lsb_release: command not found
root#471bdb08b11a:/#
So I tried installing it (as suggested here):
root#471bdb08b11a:/# apt install lsb_release
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package lsb_release
root#471bdb08b11a:/#
Anybody any idea why this isn't working?
It seems lsb_release is not installed.
you can install it via
apt-get update && apt-get install -y lsb-release && apt-get clean all
This error can happen due to uninstalling or upgrading the default python3 program version in ubuntu 16.04
The way to correct this is by reinstalling the original python3 version which comes with ubuntu and relinking again. (in ubuntu 16.04 - the default python3 version is python 3.5
sudo rm /usr/bin/python3
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.5 /usr/bin/python3
Just use cat /etc/os-release and that should display the OS details.
Screenshot from debian.
Screenshot from ubuntu.
Screenshot from fedora.
lsb_release.py lives in /usr/share/pyshared which to me doesn't look like python3.6 and above is referencing.
I found the following will create a link back from a later Python install to this /usr/share script:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/pyshared/lsb_release.py /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/lsb_release.py
In case one is trying to deal with lsb_release: command not found on fedora or redhat, the package to install is redhat-lsb-core , so sudo dnf install redhat-lsb-core
While writing Dockerfile we can add lsb-release package - like this
RUN apt-get update -y \
&& apt-get upgrade -y \
&& apt-get install lsb-release -y \
&& apt-get clean all
Assuming OS is Ubuntu.
I have an already compiled Linux app which has become dated. To use it, I want to create a Docker image and an appropriate environment to work with. My problem is that is app requires an older version of the boost libraries. 1.57.0 to be specific.
I have been able to get boost installed (I believe correctly) but the app errors out.
The error that I am getting is:
undefined symbol: _ZN5boost15program_options3argE
I am hoping someone has experience with this. Briefly, my pipeline is:
get the rocker/verse Docker image that has Debian and R and some more goodies I need.
Bash in to it, apt-get install ... etc.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev build-essential libbz2-dev libboost-all-dev
cd home
wget -O boost_1_57_0.tar.gz https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.gz/download
tar xzvf boost_1_57_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_57_0
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=atomic,chrono,context,coroutine,container,date_time,exception,filesystem,graph,graph_parallel,iostreams,locale,log,math,mpi,program_options,python,random,regex,serialization,signals,system,test,thread,timer,wave
./b2 toolset=gcc cxxflags=-std=gnu++0x
sudo ./b2 install
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
-----Edit: added additional bash code that was missing here
sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf’
Hi i am having a ubuntu server which will not have any internet connection. I need to install node and all npm related packages to it.I have the source file of nodejs and all the node modules. Is there any way to install the build essential package and the python dependencies without using the below code
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
sudo apt-get install python libssl-dev -y
These commands actually hit a external url which will be impossible since there is no internet connection.I am stuck here.Any help will be much helpful.
$tar -zxf node-v0.10.5.tar.gz
$cd node-v0.10.5
$./configure && make && sudo make install
just download node first from http://nodejs.org/download/
each npm package can stand alone, so by using npm on a machine that has a connection, you can then move the node_modules file with your modules to the new machine.
I set up PhantomJS and recorded it to video: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnizmh_1_webcam
Build instructions: http://phantomjs.org/build.html
Is there anything wrong in my setup?
After I set it up I read the quick start tutorial and tried to write this code
phantomjs hello.js
It gives me "command not found" error. How can I solve this problem?
Guidouil's answer put me on the right track. I had to add one additional symlink to /usr/bin/, and I did direct symlinks for all 3 - see below.
I'm installing on Ubuntu server Natty Narwhal.
This is exactly what I did.
cd /usr/local/share
sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
And finally when I do
phantomjs -v
I get 1.9.7
If anyone sees any problems with what I've done, please let me know.
PhantomJS is on npm. You can run this command to install it globally:
npm install -g phantomjs-prebuilt
phantomjs -v should return 2.1.1
download from phantomjs website the prebuilt package :
http://phantomjs.org/download.html
then open a terminal and go to the Downloads folder
sudo mv phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 /usr/local/share/.
cd /usr/local/share/
sudo tar xjf phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.8.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
then to check install phantomjs -v should return 1.8.1
Install from package manager:
sudo apt-get install phantomjs
Here are the build steps I used (note these instructions are for version 1.3. See comments to this answer for the installation instructions of the latest PhantomJS):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev qt4-qmake
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git && cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.3
qmake-qt4 && make
Now install Xvfb
sudo apt-get install xvfb xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable xfonts-cyrillic
Launch Xvfb:
Xvfb :23 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
Now run phantom:
DISPLAY=:23 ./phantomjs hello.js
For PhantomJS version above 1.5, consider this (verbatim copy of the build instructions on the phantom website):
For Ubuntu Linux (tested on a barebone install of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Lynx and Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal):
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.7
./build.sh
For Ubuntu you can use the prebuilt versions downloadable from the PhantomJS site.
If you have some serious time on your hands you can also build it yourself. (This is exactly the procedure from Nikhil's answer).
The guys over at PhantomJS recommend using the binaries to save time:
Warning: Compiling PhantomJS from source takes a long time, mainly due to thousands of files in the WebKit module. With 4 parallel compile jobs on a modern machine, the entire process takes roughly 30 minutes. It is highly recommended to download and install the ready-made binary package if it is available.
With a modern machine they mean > 4 cores, > 8gb mem I think. I tried it on a micro AWS instance and gave up after 2 hours.
In short: install the prebuilt packages from the PhantomJS site per their instructions.
Personaly I prefer using npm (see Arnel Bucio answer)
sudo npm install -g phantomjs
but! I noticed that some of npm module still can't see it as global executable.
so!
Create new /usr/share/phantomjs/ directory link
cd /usr/share
sudo ln -s ../lib/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom phantomjs
Remove old /usr/bin/phantomjs executable link and create the new one
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv phantomjs phantomjs.old
sudo ln -s ../share/phantomjs .
in my vagrant bootstrap:
apt-get install -y build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.9
echo y | ./build.sh
ln -s /home/vagrant/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
cd ..
I have done with this.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.9
./build.sh
See link
Installation guide is in ...
https://gist.github.com/julionc/7476620
And run in terminal with this command
phantomjs --webdriver=4444
From the official site: phantomjs site
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev
git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 1.8
./build.sh
For Ubuntu, download the suitable file from http://phantomjs.org/download.html. CD to the downloaded folder. Then:
sudo tar xvf phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo mv phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
Make sure to replace the file name in these commands with the file you have downloaded.
Be aware this is definitely one way to do it:
$ sudo apt-get install phantomjs
$ phantomjs -v
1.6.0
Sadly, it installs 1.6 and not the latest one, but this works for my purposes.
I know this is too old, but, just i case someone gets to this question from Google now, you can install it by typing apt-get install phantomjs
On Ubuntu for Windows, I found neither apt-get nor npm versions worked for me. What worked was the script from this comment.
For ease of use, I pasted the whole thing into a script file called install_phantomjs.sh, made it executable (chmod u+x install_phantomjs.sh), and then ran it (./install_phantomjs.sh)
Or the latest - 32bit version Linux
sudo wget http://phantomjs.googlecode.com/files/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/share/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/phantomjs-1.9.2-linux-i686/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
Installation and Calling Phantomjs
Follow the steps doesn't work, but cloned from others built. (ver2.0)
Bellow the installation procedure by Julio Napurí https://gist.github.com/julionc
Version: 1.9.8
Platform: x86_64
First, install or update to the latest system software.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev
Install these packages needed by PhantomJS to work correctly.
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev
Get it from the PhantomJS website.
cd ~
export PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64"
wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/$PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvjf $PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
Once downloaded, move Phantomjs folder to /usr/local/share/ and create a symlink:
sudo mv $PHANTOM_JS /usr/local/share
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/$PHANTOM_JS/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
Now, It should have PhantomJS properly on your system.
phantomjs --version
I have found this simpler way - Phantom dependencies + Npm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev
and npm
[sudo] npm install -g phantomjs
Done.
On linux to run hello.js don't forget to add the path of hello.js:
phantomjs YourPathToPhantomjsFolder/examples/hello.js
If you want to use phantomjs easily, you can use it at phantomjscloud.com
You can get the result just by http request.
This is how I place a specific version of phantomjs in /usr/local/bin on my docker containers.
curl -Ls https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v1.9.19/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 \
| tar jxvf - --strip-components=2 -C /usr/local/bin/ ./phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs
or with out ./ depending on OS.
curl -Ls https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v1.9.19/phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 \
| tar jxvf - --strip-components=2 -C /usr/local/bin/ phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs
You can get up and running without sudo or npm. Simply download, extract, and add to path.
This has the added advantage of easy backup if you are in the habit of backing up your entire home folder which I highly recommend. This also works with any version of Linux.
➤ cd ~
➤ wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
➤ mkdir phantomjs
➤ tar xjf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C phantomjs
➤ echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/phantomjs/bin"' >> .profile
➤ source .profile
➤ phantomjs -v
2.1.1
The disadvantages are:
You will need to manually upgrade
Other users will not have access to this.
You could use a very simple shell script for installing/upgrading
#!/bin/sh
# install_phantomjs.sh $VERSION
$VERSION = $1
printf "Downloading PhantomJS $VERSION...\n"
wget "https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-$VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2"
printf "Extracting PhantomJS $VERSION to ~/phantomjs...\n"
mkdir ~/phantomjs
tar xjf phantomjs-$VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C ~/phantomjs
printf "Done! Make sure $HOME/phantomjs/bin is in your path.\n"
Or in a Dockerfile
# Download and setup PhantomJS
ENV PHANTOMJS_VERSION 2.1.1
RUN curl -fSL "https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-$PHANTOMJS_VERSION-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2" -o /tmp/phantomjs.tar.bz2 && \
mkdir ~/phantomjs && \
tar xjf /tmp/phantomjs.tar.bz2 -C ~/phantomjs && \
rm /tmp/phantomjs.tar.bz2
ENV PATH /home/$USERNAME/phantomjs/bin:$PATH
Here is what I did
on my ubuntu 16.04 machine
sudo apt-get update
sudo wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo mv path/where/you/downloaded/phantomjs /usr/bin
and finally when I do
phantomjs -v
I get 2.1.1
After going through every answer of this thread. I think this is the best solution for installing and running phantomjs in ubuntu.
