Installing IonCube on CentOS 7

Download the Loaders zip file for linux 64bit. Upload to the server and setup a nginx vhost for the domain (ion-vhost.conf).

Visit the http://ioncube.sozowebdesign.com/loader-wizard.php, this won't be able to do the install but will tell you what to do.

sudo cp /var/www/magento/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.2.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_7.2.so

Setup configuration for the PHP module (using 00-ioncube.conf)

sudo vim /etc/php.d/00-ioncube.ini
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
