How To Install GMP 6

If you need help to install GMP on your cPanel server, we offer server management and one-time installation just contact us!

GNU MP or GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications and research, Internet security applications, algebra systems, computational algebra research, etc.

GMP is carefully designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with highly optimised assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed.

For install GMP library in cPanel server follow this instruction ;

cd /usr/local/src

wget https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.1.0.tar.bz2.sig

tar -xjvf gmp-*

cd gmp-6.1.0

./configure

make

make check

make install

Edit or create new file /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5

vi /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5

and add this line ;

--with-gmp

Install gmp-devel ;

yum install gmp-devel

Rebuild apache using this command ;

/scripts/easyapache --build
Check PHP should be added:
php -i | grep -i gmp

et voila.
