php -i | grep v8js

// confirmed with Ubuntu 16 and 17

it works! thank u so much!

Hi, I followed this instructions but encountered the following error. Could u please let me know what might be the cause of this .

try
sudo bash -c 'echo ''extension=v8js.so'' >> /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-v8js.ini'

not sure the syntax is correct

The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinepain/libv8-archived/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file

When I run apt-get install python-software-properties I get the following error

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package python-software-properties is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  software-properties-common

E: Package 'python-software-properties' has no installation candidate

Installation confirmed again on Ubuntu 16.

this kind of warning I am having after trying two times executing your code

It looks like pinepain/libv8-archived no longer includes libv8-dev

@joehoyle its complex to configure and v8js. I tried many many times but did not happen yet.

The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinepain/libv8-archived/ubuntu bionic Release' does nothave a Release file.

Worth pointing out that libv8-dev is outdated now. You will need to compile a newer version of v8 in your system. See this: https://github.com/phpv8/v8js/blob/php7/README.Linux.md

Hope this helps someone
