How to install bcmath in Ubuntu for PHP 7.1

php ubuntu-16.04 ubuntu-server php-7.1 bcmath

Answering my own question. Managed to fix this issue with following repo update.

add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/phpapt updateapt install php7.1-bcmath

Restart apache and all good to go.

php ubuntu-16.04 ubuntu-server php-7.1 bcmath

add this :

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security main universe

to /etc/apt/sources.list

$ sudo apt update$ sudo apt install php7.1-bcmath

php ubuntu-16.04 ubuntu-server php-7.1 bcmath

Those who are looking for Ubuntu 20.04:

sudo apt install php-bcmath

It will automatically install the bcmath compatible with your version of PHP.
