For fresh installation on Ubuntu 16.04
If we want to install new version && Remove all php dependencies
sudo apt-get remove php*
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-cli php7.1-common libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-fpm php7.1-curl php7.1-gd php7.1-bz2 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-json php7.1-tidy php7.1-mbstring php-redis php-memcached
php 7.1+ supports utf-8 paths and I/O streams on Windows. file system functions now return utf-8 results, you don't need to convert file paths between character sets.
