On Ubuntu 16.04, I installed Drush using Composer: composer global require drush/drush:~8. Installation succeeded, but running drush --version, I got this error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ReflectionException: Class DOMDocument does not exist in /.../composer/vendor/consolidation/output-formatters/src/Transformations/DomToArraySimplifier.php:24
What do I do now?
DOMDocument is included in the extension php-xml. To install it on ubuntu, run:
sudo apt-get install php-xml
Same problem on my machine, where I have php-5.6 and php-7.0 installed.
To fix this issue I have installed php5.6-xml and php7.0-xml too.
Checking your php version first by command line:
php -v
and install the corresponding php-xml extension (eg: php5.6-xml; php7.0-xml; php7.1-xml; php7.2-xml).
