Install PHP 7 on Ubuntu 16

I tried to set PHP version to 7 in my Ubuntu 16, but the install ended with an error:

Setting up install-info (6.1.0.dfsg.1-5) ...
/usr/sbin/update-info-dir: 3: /etc/environment: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
dpkg: error processing package install-info (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 install-info
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Running php -v the php version remains the same:

mycomputer@mycomputer:~$ php -v

PHP 5.6.11-1ubuntu3.4 (cli) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2015, by Zend Technologies

I follow these instructions from this link:

https://tecadmin.net/install-php-7-on-ubuntu/

Which are:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -yphp7.0

How can I fix the error and fix it to have PHP 7 installed on my Ubuntu 16?

The command line is telling you where to look at:

/usr/sbin/update-info-dir: 3: /etc/environment: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Can you check whether you have some error on your /etc/environment file?
