Step 1: Install PHP Swoole Extension

1. Update your package lists

sudo apt update

First, install the necessary dependencies for PECL:

sudo apt install php-pear php8.2-dev libbrotli-dev -y

3. Install Swoole

sudo pecl install swoole

4. Enable the Swoole extension in your PHP configuration
After installing, you need to add the following line to your `php.ini` (usually located in `/etc/php/8.2/cli/php.ini`):
