Mcrypt PHP extension required. Laravel, Xampp error

Question

I'm having trouble with Ubuntu 14.04, Xampp and Laravel. I'm getting Mcrypt PHP extension required. Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error when try to install laravel.

I know there are several thread on it and I tried most of them but no luck.

here you can check it for windows, linux, mac installations of mcrypt extension. http://www.kvcodes.com/2014/07/laravel-requires-mcrypt-php-extension/ — Kvvaradha, Feb 09 '16 at 04:13

The desired Mcrypt PHP extension is packaged in a different package, namely php5-mcrypt. To get this package installed on your machine, you can use apt-get, like this:

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

In addition, PHP extensions have to be registered with the correct Server API (SAPI); there is a command-line tool called php5enmod provided by the packager to simplify this process; e.g.

sudo php5enmod mcrypt

will add the correct extension=mcrypt.so line to all the relevant php.ini files.

Thanks Everyone. If you already install PHPMyadmin you don't need to install mycrypt again. Make sure myscrypt is enabled. Just execute the following code: `sudo php5enmod mcrypt` – Sisyphus Excerpt Apr 08 '15 at 08:45

Enable the PHP mcrypt module before installing Laravel.

Using the command: sudo php5enmod mcrypt
