Upgrading to PHP 7.0 on Ubuntu 14.04

This is the simple process, through which PHP was updated to version 7.0 on our Ubuntu 14.04 server (hosted on our favorite DigitalOcean):

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install php7.0
$ sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
$ sudo a2dismod php5
$ sudo a2enmod php7.0
$ sudo service apache2 restart
