E: Unable to locate package php-gettext

Question

running OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS on Digital Ocean Droplet mysql: 8.0.29-0ubuntu0.20.04.3 php: 8.1.5

I followed this tutorial on installing phpmyadmin: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-compose-on-ubuntu-20-04 and when I try to access phpmyadmin, I get a blank page. I've google it, and seems like I'm missing an extension called: php-gettext. When I try to install it, I get "Unable to locate package". (PS: I've apt-get update before running)

Answer 1

use:

sudo apt-get install php7.4-gettext

instead of:

sudo apt-get install php-gettext

Answer 2

Try sudo apt-get install php-php-gettext
