CentOS 6.4 - Install SSH2 extension for PHP

Install the necessary packages before you can build/install ssh2 extension

yum install gcc php-devel php-pear libssh2 libssh2-devel make

Install the extension, (hit enter for autodetect when it prompts you)

pecl install -f ssh2

Once the install is completed, you just have to tell PHP to load the extension when it boots.

Restart your webserver and test to see if the changes took effect.

service httpd restart

You can check it installed with the following command
