I am seeing this message from WordPress Site Health. How do I install the missing module?

The WordPress Hosting Team maintains a list of those modules, both
recommended and required, in the team handbook

Warning The optional module, intl, is not installed, or has been
disabled

My Answer:
To install the missing module, intl, you will need to enable it in your PHP configuration. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Check if the intl module is already installed by running the following command in your terminal:
bash
php -m | grep intl


2. If the module is not installed, you can install it using the package manager for your operating system. For example, on Ubuntu, you can run:
bash
sudo apt-get install php-intl


3. Once the module is installed, you will need to enable it in your PHP configuration. Locate your php.ini file (you can find the location by running `php --ini` in your terminal) and add the following line:
ini
extension=intl


4. Save the php.ini file and restart your web server for the changes to take effect. You can restart Apache with:
bash
sudo systemctl restart apache2


5. After restarting the web server, check if the intl module is now enabled by running the command from step 1 again.

Once the intl module is installed and enabled, the warning message should no longer appear in your WordPress Site Health.
