installing laravel on EC2 - mbstring issue

I have installed Laravel 5.2 successfully on my Mac machine. But now I am walking through the procedures to install Laravel on AWS.

Once I got the instance running, I installed apache, php and mysql with the following command: sudo yum install -y httpd24 php56 mysql55-server php56-mysqlnd

The php version is 5.6.17

I then did the following:

composer global require "laravel/installer"

and updated the path: export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin

when I navigate to /var/www/html and do "laravel new ", the project gets created but I receive an mbstring extension problem. Below is a text dump of what I saw:

laravel new hws3
Crafting application...
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of    packages.

Problem 1
- Installation request for laravel/framework v5.2.29 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v5.2.29].
- laravel/framework v5.2.29 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.

I've scoured the internet and only found a solution for Windows. I am using Amazon Linux. Any guidance would be most appreciated.

It seems you have php 5.6 installed. You need to install mbstring for that particular version of php.

Run sudo yum install php56-mbstring
