The Zip PHP extension is not installed. Please install it and try again. Laravel

I am trying to run:

laravel new test

However, I am getting this error:

I am on PHP 7.4.7 and Laravel 2.3.0 and ubunti 16.04

I ran this during the installation of PHP:

sudo apt-get install -y php7.4-{bcmath,bz2,intl,gd,mbstring,mysql,zip} if this helps on what I have tried.

I am a beginner with Laravel and PHP, so please be gentle and clear with your explanations, thanks.

Thanks.

I faced the same problem. Use this command:

php -v

To check php version(for me it was 7.4.9) .Then:

sudo apt-get install php7.4-zip

It will solve your problem.
