Ubuntu 14.04 PHP PECL Oauth error

Question

Trying to integrate a PHP application with Quickbooks and the Quickbooks SDK says it needs PECL Oauth.

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and get this error when I try to install Oauth.

sudo pecl install oauth
downloading oauth-1.2.3.tgz ...
Starting to download oauth-1.2.3.tgz (45,531 bytes)
.............done: 45,531 bytes
could not extract the package.xml file from "/build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-  download/oauth-1.2.3.tgz"
Download of "pecl/oauth" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "pecl/oauth"
Download failed 
install failed

I Googled a bit and updated my system:

sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev

but no luck there. Any ideas - this should be an easy step for Ubuntu.

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install php5-oauth

Answer 2

I am also using the QuickBooks API and for PHP 7 this worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install php-pear php7.0-dev
sudo pecl install oauth

Then add to your php.ini

extension=oauth.so

Answer 3

Maybe this resolve the problem:

sudo pecl install oauth-1.2.3
