Good to meet you too @Keith ! I’d be interested in knowing more about this too.

From that SO link, it seems like you need to compile PHP with the `--with-sodium` flag. Here are a few things I found while searching around:

A community forum post on compiling extra extensions within Local sites: [How do I compile additional PHP extensions?](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/how-do-i-compile-additional-php-extensions/2272)

And here is the libsodium link on PECL: [https://pecl.php.net/package/libsodium](https://pecl.php.net/package/libsodium)

I’ll see what else I can find out, but let me know what you come up with!

– Ben
