It's important to have a git installed as it's necessary for recursive fetch of phpc.

First clone recursively the repository

git clone --recursive https://github.com/php-gnupg/php-gnupg.git

Then go to the created directory and compile the extension. The PHP development package has to be installed (command phpize must be available).

cd php-gnupg
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install

Finally the following line needs to be added to php.ini

extension=gnupg.so

or for PHP 8+ it's just

extension=gnupg

Windows

The extension is not currently supported on Windows due to unavailable GpgME library builds that would be supported by PHP.
