Hello,
You should be able to download the file from here https://pecl.php.net/package/zip and copy it to your extensions directory and then enable it in php.ini.
Sorry – to add to this: it’s quite likely that your PHP installation already has the ZIP extension installed (most PHP distributions do), and that it’s just a case of activating it in the configuration files.
How did you install PHP on your localhost server? Whatever method you used, there’s probably some configuration tool that goes with it? Or, if you can find the php.d directory that has configuration files for modules, find the one with “zip” in the name, and edit it in a text editor to activate the zip module.
For example, in mind, there’s a file 40-zip.ini inside the php.d configuration directory. The contents are:
; Enable ZIP extension module
extension=zip.so
That’s enabled. In yours if it’s currently disabled, the equivalent of the second line would be commented out, like so:
; Enable ZIP extension module
;extension=zip.so
After enabling it you may need to restart your webserver on the localhost install for the changes to be picked up.
