When I try to install this the Package Manager indicates no problems but as soon as I press install, I get a white screen.
I'm on SMF v2.0.13 (I know, I need to update). Any idea why this is happening?
This modification requires an updated version of PHP to at least v7.1.
You likely are using an outdated version of PHP or do not have one of the required PHP modules installed.
Supported SMF Versions

RAR support is only optional & not required
Optional RAR compression support: RAR (command-line tool) -> shell_exec must be enabled in PHP to use RAR compression
Optional RAR decompression support: UNRAR (PECL RarArchive class) package for Unix -> Extension must be enabled in php.ini (check phpinfo() to confirm)
RAR archive package for PHP 7.3 (check other PHP versions): https://centos.pkgs.org/8/remi-x86_64/php73-php-pecl-rar-4.0.0-4.el8.remi.x86_64.rpm.html
RAR compression for Unix: Install rar via yum, DNF or apt-get -> example: yum install rar
RAR compression for WIndows: Requires WinRAR to be installed in -> Program Files / Program Files (x86)
That's what I get for not reading all the instructions. :-[
Our PHP version is less than 7.1 so that's going to be the problem.
Thanks for reply. :)
