Step 1: Install System Dependencies

Connect to your server via SSH and update the package list:


apt update && apt upgrade -y

Install the required system packages:


apt install -y nginx mysql-server supervisor \
    php8.3-fpm php8.3-cli php8.3-mysql php8.3-mbstring \
    php8.3-xml php8.3-bcmath php8.3-curl php8.3-zip php8.3-gd php8.3-intl \
    git unzip curl

Info: These PHP extensions are required by Laravel and the application’s dependencies (image processing, HTTP requests, XML parsing, etc.).
