Check /etc/php/(version like 7.2)/cli/conf.d directory and find 20-apcu.ini. If you dont see it there, You need to install it. To install follow bellow command:

sudo apt-get install php7.2-apcu

Now add bellow line in php.ini file if it is not there.

extension=apcu.so

Notice: for php7.2-apcu use your own php version. for example php7.0-apcu

After install restart your php7.X-fpm service if you are using nginx

sudo service php7.2-fpm restart

Now reload nginx

sudo service nginx reload

or reload apache, if you are using it:

sudo service apache2 reload
