1. Run system updates
The first thing to do in a new system is to update our repositories in order to make them up to date. Run upgrade command also.
sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y
2. Add Ondrej sury PPA repository
To run PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04, we need to add Ondrej sury PPA into our system. This is the maintainer of the PHP repository at the moment. This PPA is not currently checked so installing from it will not be guaranteed 100% results.
To add this PPA use the following command on our terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
After installation is complete we need to update the repositories again for the changes to take effect.
sudo apt update
3. Install PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04
We should now be able to install PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux machine. The commands to run are as shared below:
sudo apt install php8.2 -y
Check for the currently active version of PHP with the following command:
php --version
