# HTML Tidy

 *  [RafaelDeJongh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rafaeldejongh/)

 * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-tidy-2/)
 * So I am on an Ubuntu server at Digitalocean and I’m trying to install/configure
   Tidy HTML5 with my current PHP7 WordPress installation and W3 Total Cache.
 * However even though I’ve installed Tidy with the following commands:
 *     ```
           sudo apt-get remove libtidy-0.99-0 tidy -y
           sudo wget -O /tmp/tidy-5.2.0-64bit.deb http://binaries.html-tidy.org/binaries/tidy-5.2.0/tidy-5.2.0-64bit.deb
   
           sudo dpkg -i /tmp/tidy-5.2.0-64bit.deb
   
           sudo rm /tmp/tidy-5.2.0-64bit.deb
       ```
   
 * And it even says that it is at Version 5.2.0, yet it doesn’t seem to be loaded/
   installed.
 *     ```
           rafael@wordpress-staging:~$ php --ini

           rafael@wordpress-staging:~$ tidy -v
           HTML Tidy for Linux version 5.2.0
       ```
   
 * Am I missing something here? Or doesn’t HTML Tidy work with PHP7? Because I’ve
   installed HTML Tidy with the above mentioned commands without any problem on 
   a PHP5.6 installation just fine recently.
 * Either way thanks for any suggestions or information.
 * Edit:
 * I’ve removed Tidy completely, installed the original from 2009, still not detected,
   then removed it again and installed the latest version again but yet again it’s
   still not being detected:
 *     ```

           tidy is already the newest version (20091223cvs-1.5).
           You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
           The following packages have unmet dependencies:
            tidy : Depends: libtidy-0.99-0 (>= 20091223cvs-1.5) but it is not going to be installed
           E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
