Install PECL SSH2 Extension on Ubuntu

This took me a short while to work out, so I thought I’d post here how I achieved this to save people some time.

Check if you have the ssh2 extension installed:

php -r "print_r(get_loaded_extensions());"

If so, in the list of extensions, you will see this line:

Array
(
    ...
    [59] => ssh2
    ...
)

If you do not see this line, then you can install the PECL SSH2 extension like this:

sudo apt-get install libssh2-php

Don’t forget to bounce apache:

service apache2 restart
