how to install libssh2 on Centos + pecl

  • 772

I use phing as a deployment tool on CentOS and I'd like to use the SshTask, which required libssh2 to be installed.

I tried "pecl install ssh2" but that asks me for a libssh2 prefix [/usr?]

I noticed that this means I need to install libssh2 first, but yum does not have that package. So my question is: what is the best way to install libssh2 on Centos and then install the pecl extension?

centos deployment ssh pecl

  1. Best Answer

    to install libssh2 on centos follow the next steps:

    1. download libssh2 from the official website (look for in google - i don't have reputation and can't post but 1 link)

    2. extract it somewhere, then open a terminal and go in the folder where you extracted it and type these commands

      ./configure

make

make install

    ALSO

    you can install the rpmforge repos from DAG from here:

    http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/

    (check your version, if you're on i386 you'll probably have to get the "Red Hat EL 5 - i386" one)

    then do a

    yum install libssh2

  2. You need libssh2-devel not just libssh2. Here's a little shorter version

    yum install libssh2-devel
pecl install ssh2-0.12

  3. Effort to install libssh2-devel using yum failed with error No package libssh2-devel available. (remi repo)

    I downloaded it from PECL website and installed via

    # pecl install -f packagename.tgz

    All other packages and dependencies were downloaded from rpmfind.net and installed like this

    # rpm -ivh packagename.rpm

    wget https://libssh2.org/download/libssh2-1.7.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf libssh2-1.7.0.tar.gz
cd libssh2-1.7.0
./configure
