Note, for Ubuntu, simply installing php5-mcrypt did not get mcrypt to work. You need to execute the following commands as root to enable it:
apt-get install php5-mcrypt
mv -i /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available/
php5enmod mcrypt
service apache2 restart
Installation
Cette extension a été déplacée dans le module » PECL et ne sera plus intégrée dans PHP à partir de PHP 7.2.0
Des informations sur l'installation de ces extensions PECL peuvent être trouvées dans le chapitre du manuel intitulé Installation des extensions PECL. D'autres informations comme les notes sur les nouvelles versions, les téléchargements, les sources des fichiers, les informations concernant les mainteneurs ainsi qu'un CHANGELOG, peuvent être trouvées ici : » https://pecl.php.net/package/mcrypt.

If you don't have a /etc/php5/conf.d directory, you can simply only do: php5enmod mcrypt
Should be working fine.

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using php5-fpm with Nginx, I had to symlink the mcrypt.ini to the correct location, and then restart php5-fpm and nginx.
#ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/mcrypt.ini
#service php5-fpm restart
#service nginx restart

I needed to install mcrypt on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9 for installing the Laravel 5 framework. I entered in the Terminal command line:
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php
brew install php54 php54-mcrypt
This installed Mcrypt. In Terminal type php -i to see a list of everything installed or for much better formatting and easier to read make a phpinfo.php page with this inside <?php phpinfo(); ?>
More help with installing on OS X:

You can install Mcrypt from the PHP Source Tree as a module if you choose.
You first need to ensure you have libmcrypt, libmcrypt-devel, and mcrypt installed, then do:
# cd php-5.x.x/ext/mcrypt
# phpize
# aclocal
# ./configure
# make && make install
Enable the module by adding: 'extension=mcrypt.so' to PHP.ini.
Done!
Very handy if you need to install a single module and you may have installed PHP via RPM, but don't wish to recompile your whole PHP install.

If using a Debian-based Linux system, you can run the following commands:
