ZipArchive not found in PHP 7 Forge servers
Newly provisioned Forge server do not seem to have ZipArchive installed.
new ZipArchive(); //results in class not found error.
Anybody have clear instruction on how to install this?

I think you are referring to your own spatie/laravel-backup package right? I have been using this package without problems on a forge server with PHP 7 running ;)

I think it's a very new problem. ZipArchive is only missing from server I've set up in the last couple of days.
To install it just run this command:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip
@bobbybouwmann and it's indeed necessary for the backup package :-) New major version will be released somewhere this week.

@freekmurze Great!

If you are on AMI linux you can install running: sudo yum install php70-zip

When I try to do sudo apt-get the server asks for a password, but by default laravel forge allows only ssh key access.
Any ideas?

You should get an email with the root password after creating a server in forge.
