I want to be able to run PHP functions like ssh2_connect. But, those functions are not available on my machine. What do I need to do to install them?

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

The Ubuntu package index lists libssh2-php packages for several tastes (lucid to oneiric). You can look if your system has all the required software, download the libssh2-php.deb from Lucid and install it

sudo dpkg -i libssh2-php*.deb

or use gdebi.

If this don't work you can download the source code from libssh2.org and compile it for yourself.

This probably won't work because of the version differences. – Marco Ceppi♦ Sep 6 '11 at 20:59
ACK, thatswhy I recommended to look if Adam has all the necessary software installed. – qbi Sep 6 '11 at 21:11
