I ran "php admin\tool\phpunit\cli\init.php" in the console. Then I get "version 5.5.4 is required and you are running 7.1.11PHP version 7.1 is not supported"

What can I do with it? Thanx.

Well the error message couldn't really be much clearer.

For the version of Moodle you are using, at least PHP version 5.5.4 is required, but PHP 7.1 is not supported.

You have 2 options:

  • Install an earlier version of PHP (you don't state which version of Moodle you are using, so have a look at the release notes ( https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases ) for the relevant version to find out which PHP versions are supported)
  • Upgrade to a later version of Moodle (Moodle 3.2 and above support PHP 7.1)
