1 Step - Install a required extension  sudo apt-get install libz-dev -y   2 Step - Install the PHP extension  pecl install zlib zip   3 Step - Restart your Apache  sudo  etc init d apache2 restart        If does not work you can check if the zip ini is called in your phpinfo  to check if the zip so was included
