Is There is a way to install Xdebug for Php5 on Ubuntu 16.04? I've tried to install it the same way as ubuntu 14.04 but every time I try to install php5-dev I get this error "E: Package 'php5-dev' has no installation candidate"

you can install xdebug by typing in
sudo apt-get install php-xdebug then only restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart or if you use NGINX
sudo systemctl restart nginx or sudo nginx restart
If you now look at your phpinfo() output, you should see the xdebug.
This als wokrs if u installed PHP 5.5 or 5.6 via ppa:ondrej/php Packages
To install PHP5 version by apt-get look this guid Ubuntu add ondrej/php

Edit: Here the config for Xdebug to use it with PHPStorm and the Browser.
Add the following lines to /etc/php//apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
xdebug.remote_host = localhost xdebug.remote_enable = 1 xdebug.remote_port = 9000 xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp xdebug.remote_mode = req This will start xdebug only at remote and allows you fast to debug by PHPStorm (should also work with other IDE's)

What if I don't use Apache but nginx? How does one add ondrej's ppa to their system? Your answer is incomplete, I suggest you expand it by answering the questions in my comment so it's complete, because the question is really good and you've answered half of it.

So.. if I use nginx and PHP, how does restarting nginx help me? It doesn't boot PHP like apache does..
