I'm using Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS 64-bit OS on my machine.

I just updated all the softwares and packages installed on my system by running following commands from the terminal :

sudo apt-get update



sudo apt-get upgrade

Now I'm using PHP 7.0.5, the latest current stable version of PHP.

For checking it I run the following command from the terminal :

php -v



PHP 7.0.5-3+donate.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli) ( NTS )

Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group

Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

    with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

Now I was trying to install Composer(The Project Dependency Management Software). As a prerequisite it needs cli and Git to be installed so for it I typed in following command and got following error. How to resolve this error?

sudo apt-get install curl php5-cli git

Someone please provide me the correct command I need to run from the terminal and remove this error.

I think it's occurring since I'm no more using PHP 5.5.9. Just provide me the necessary command.

Thanks in advance.

PHP 7.0 packages has been renamed, so you are looking either for apt-get install php-cli to install dependency package that will pull default PHP version, or just apt-get install php7.0-cli. I recommend the former.
