Install and configure php-zip
Hi everyone. I'm trying to install PHPSpreadsheet library on our server by typing this on our SSH terminal:
composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet
I'm getting this message (with errors):

I already installed the zip extension by running: apt-get install php-zip.
We are running PHP 7.2.21-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I hope someone could help me.

This isn't an issue that I am familiar with, and I'm no PHP expert, but I think I may have found the reason for this error. It seems like your PHPSpreadsheet install is failing due to the Composer Dependency Manager rejecting your root user commands.
If you follow this link to Composer Docs, you'll find some information on why this error occurs, as well as commands to disable the plugins and scripts during package installation or updating.
composer install --no-plugins --no-scripts
composer update --no-plugins --no-scripts
This will ensure that only the Composer code is executed when running an install or update. Once this adjustment has been made, the install error for PHP Spreadsheet should go away. I hope this helps you get to the bottom of your failing package install. Good luck!
