A lot of good answers already for Ubuntu. I'm on Linux and had the same problem but none of the commands above worked for me.

With Linux and php70 I used the following command which worked great:

sudo yum install php70-mbstring -y

Your error message is pretty explicit about what is going wrong      laravel framework v5 2 9 requires ext-mbstring   -  the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system    Do you have mbstring installed on your server and is it enabled   You can install mbstring as part of the libapache2-mod-php5 package   sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5  Or standalone with   sudo apt-get install php-mbstring  Installing it will also enable it  however you can also enable it by editing your php ini file and remove the   that is commenting it out if it is already installed   If this is on your local machine  then follow the appropriate steps to install this on your environment
