How to install PHP Sodium on Ubuntu 22.04

On Ubuntu 22.04, PHP Sodium is typically available and often pre-installed or easily enabled, as PHP versions 7.2 and higher include it by default. To install or ensure it's present for your default PHP version (e.g., PHP 8.1 on Ubuntu 22.04), first update your package list: `sudo apt update`. Then, install the `php-sodium` package, which will automatically select the correct version for your system: `sudo apt install php-sodium`. After installation, it's crucial to restart your web server (Apache or Nginx) to apply the changes: `sudo systemctl restart apache2` or `sudo systemctl restart nginx`. You can verify Sodium's activation by running `php -m | grep sodium` in your terminal or by checking a `phpinfo()` output for the 'sodium' section, confirming its readiness for cryptographic operations.
