php-sodium on Amazon Linux 2023

Question

php-sodium is absent on Amazon Linux 2023 and can't be easily installed. So I'll put the solution here as an answer.

Expected to install php-sodium/libsodium on Amazon Linux 2023, but there is no the simple way, because amazon-linux-extras not included as well

Answer 1

sudo yum install php8.1-devel php-pear gcc
wget https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/LATEST.tar.gz
// verify the file integrity https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/installation#integrity-checking
tar -xvzf LATEST.tar.gz
cd libsodium-stable
./configure
make && make check
sudo make install
sudo pecl install -f libsodium
//add extension=sodium.so to php.ini
