Symfony 3 or 4 on Ubuntu 16.04 or Debian 8 (Jessie)


I'm attempting to use Symfony. I've tried on both Debian 8 (jessie) and Ubuntu 16.04 servers. On both, I am told by the Symfony config that the version of ICU is too low (52 or 55). It needs to be at 59.1. I have tried everything I could find- including installed 59.1 from a tar ball instructed on another question here. Nothing I found ever changed the version. What do I need to do here to get this running?


Solution

  • It's a warning only. You don't need to do anything. I've answered this question on SO multiple times. See the screenshot below, which you get when you run php bin/symfony_requirements:

    As long as running the bin/symfony_requirements shows the green OK, then you are set, otherwise it will tell what you still need.
