Mssql Connection on Ubuntu (Laravel Forge + Digital Ocean)

I want to connect mssql through ubuntu 16.04 Server (Located in DigitalOcean - created by Laravel Forge)

When I try to connect, I recieved couldn't find driver error

I tried to install php5-sybase on remote server. Then I'm getting this error.

(sudo apt-get install php5-sybase)

unable to locate package php5-sybase laravel forge I tried sudo apt-get update before writing previous command.

What should i do ?

Is forge not running php7? I don't use it but I think that's the default. Try just doing apt install php-sybase and it should install the right version for your current PHP.
