LinuxMint debbie install PHP7.4 – Debian

i’m using LinuxMint with this information:

hi@hiy:~$ uname -a -r
Linux hi 4.19.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.98-1 (2020-01-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux

hi@hi:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Linuxmint
Description:    LMDE 4 (debbie)
Release:    4
Codename:   debbie

i think this release of LinuxMint based on Debian and this following codes doesn’t add php7.4 to repository:

sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates wget
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
sudo apt update

install PHP7.4

sudo apt install php7.4

    Add the ondrej/php which has PHP 7.4 package and other required PHP extensions.
    sudo apt install software-properties-common
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
    sudo apt update
    Once you have added the PPA you can install PHP 7.4.

    Execute the following command to install PHP 7.4

    sudo apt install php7.4

    Maybe a bit late, but the solution is rather simple, if you think about it.
    And hopefully this will help others, that come across the same problem.

    LMDE 4 (debbie) is a niche product and doesn’t have a PHP package specifically defined for it.
    But since it uses Debian 10 Buster as underlying foundation, you can simply use the Buster package.

    Solution: Exchange ($lsb_release -sc) with buster and it will work.

    This is also necessary for some other packages, like Docker.
