Some quick googling shows it might be the php-xml package, but I can only find results about CentOS. What kind of server are you running?

How do I install the dom extension for PHP7?
I am trying to do a composer install for a laravel project on a staging server of ours but the composer dependency check fails at phpunit stating that it requires the ext-dom extension. I can find no information on how to install or enable the dom extension for PHP7. I compared the list of extensions installed on the server vs a Homestead box but I can't find anything obvious. Can anyone tell me which extension to install in order to resolve the missing dependency?

Homestead is ubuntu based, yeah? If so, ... sudo aptitude should bring up a full screen package manager, there may be a package you can install. Not sure about php7, but php5 the extension was enabled by default.

Thanks guys, it turns out that it was indeed the php-xml package, so the following solved the problem:
sudo apt-get install php-xml
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 in case anyone else also runs into this problem.

In Ubuntu 16.04 sudo apt-get install php-xml will install for PHP 7. I wanted to use in php5.6. So I needed to write sudo apt-get install php5.6-xml.

Actually, the problem is related to the extension sudo "php-xml", so sudo apt-get install php-xml should work and indeed it worked for me.
installing php7.0-mbstring is for when you have,
"laravel/framework v5.4.6 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system."

In Debian 8 and php 7.1 I solved this issue with ...
$ sudo apt-get install php7.1-mbstring
$ sudo apt-get install php7.1-xml
$ sudo apt-get install php7.1-zip
