Today, I will let you know how to install APC (for PHP) on a Linux system. The APC is not compatible with PHP 5.5+ version, So I’ll install and configure APCu which is supported by PHP 5.5+.
What’s APCu Cache
APC is a great op-code caching system for PHP that can help speed up your website. APC Cache helps to bypass the parsing and compiling steps and minimizes web requests to the server.

Install and Configure APC Cache in Linux
Let’s download and install the APCu cache in our Linux system.
Install APC
We’ll install cache using below command:
$ sudo apt-get install php7.3-apcu -y
This command will install the latest version of APC.
Configure APC
You then configure APC, telling it where the executable file php-config is. If you don’t know where this is, then do this:
$ whereis php-config
Output:
php-config: /usr/bin/php-config /usr/share/abc/php-config.1.gz
Restart service
We’ll restart fpm and apache2 services.
sudo service php7.3-fpm restart sudo service apache2 restart
