Recently the new php7 has been released. However, when I am trying to install the gd package, the library can not be found.
I have tried through
sudo apt-get install php70-gd and
sudo apt-get install php70-php-gd Does anybody have an idea if gd is available for php 7?

You can check to see if the GD library is enabled by creating a simple phpinfo page on your web server. Open this file in Notepad, or your preferred WYSIWYG editor such as Dreamweaver. phpinfo();
GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images. GD is used for creating PNG, JPEG and GIF images and is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.
PHP7 packages for Ubuntu including php7.0-gd can be installed via PPA for PHP by Ondřej Surý:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt-get update Next, install the desired version:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd # or sudo apt-get install php7.1-gd # or sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd # or sudo apt-get install php7.3-gd # or sudo apt-get install php7.4-gd EDIT:
As MacroMan stated, under Ubuntu 16.04 you don't need to add the repository any more. Simply issuing sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd works.
