[root@tutorialspots ~]# tar -xvf chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux.tar.gz
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/chilkat_9_5_0.php
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/chilkat_9_5_0.so
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/license.txt
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/phpinfo.php
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/README.txt
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/showExtDir.php
chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux/test.php

Verify in the folder extract:

[root@tutorialspots ~]# dir chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux
README.txt         chilkat_9_5_0.so  phpinfo.php     test.php
chilkat_9_5_0.php  license.txt       showExtDir.php

Now change dir to the folder: chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux

cd chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux

Step 3: Copy chilkat_9_5_0.so to the PHP extensions directory.
You can find the path of the PHP extensions directory by running the showExtDir.php script

php showExtDir.php

If you get empty you must manually find the path of the PHP extensions directory.
Here is some typical path:

/usr/lib/php/modules
/usr/lib/php5/20131226
...

Now, copy that file:

cp chilkat_9_5_0.so /usr/lib/php/modules

chilkat module php linux

Step 4: Edit the file php.ini to automatically load the Chilkat Extension

Add this line to the file php.ini:

extension=chilkat_9_5_0.so

Or you can use this command line:

echo "extension=chilkat_9_5_0.so" > /etc/php.d/chilkat.ini

Step 5: restart apache or php-fpm

service httpd restart

Done. Now you can verify if this installation is sucessful by running the file test in folder chilkat-9.5.0-php-5.4-x86-linux
