Hit the following commands to install php at any version (replace php7.4 with your required version) in Linux OS:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt -y install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt -y install php7.4

Check PHP Version :

php -v

You may need some other packages to install. You can do so by following the commands :

sudo apt-get install -y php7.4-cli php7.4-json php7.4-common php7.4-mysql php7.4-zip php7.4-gd php7.4-mbstring php7.4-curl php7.4-xml php7.4-bcmath
sudo apt install php7.4-fpm

Start FPM and check status :

systemctl restart php7.4-fpm
systemctl status php7.4-fpm

The above-mentioned actions resolved the problem.
