My Answer:
It seems like the package for PHP 7.4 may not be available in the default repositories for Ubuntu 22.04.1. You can try adding a PPA (Personal Package Archive) that contains PHP 7.4 or higher versions.

Here's how you can add a PPA and install PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 22.04.1:

1. Add the Ondřej Surý PPA which contains the latest versions of PHP:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php


2. Update the package list:

sudo apt update


3. Install PHP 7.4 and common extensions:

sudo apt install php7.4 php7.4-common php7.4-cli


4. You can also install additional PHP extensions as needed:

sudo apt install php7.4-


5. Verify the installation by checking the PHP version:

php -v


This should help you install PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 22.04.1. Let me know if you encounter any issues during the installation process.
