phpenmod: Enable the JSON extension for every SAPI of every PHP version.
$ sudo phpenmod ${json}
try on your machine

The command "sudo phpenmod ${json}" is used to enable a PHP extension module in a Linux system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo": Prefixing a command with "sudo" makes it run with administrative/root privileges. This is necessary because enabling PHP modules usually requires administrative access.

  • "phpenmod": This is a command in Debian-based Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu) used to enable PHP extensions. It modifies the configuration files to include the specified PHP module and activates it.

  • "${json}": This is a variable (denoted by the "$") that should contain the name of the PHP extension module to be enabled (e.g., "json"). The curly braces "{}" are used to separate the variable name from adjacent characters.

Overall, the command "sudo phpenmod ${json}" is used to enable a specific PHP extension module by modifying the PHP configuration files with administrative privileges.
