Uninstall an installation
Manually delete all the files/folders with php find by whereis


Install specific version using tar.gz
If you want to do a manually installation. You must uninstall the installation first as described in the  "Uninstall an installation". 
As the upgrade and downgrade will always update to a latest version of 5.4 and 5.5, when you want to update to a specific 5.4.x or 5.5.x version (or the latest version still not in the repository). Then you need to install it manually. And you can do it as below:
(The latest list of available version in the repository is here http://php.net/releases/, but maybe not the fresh latest version.)
So if you want to update to a designed version, you need to download the tar ball and compile it by yourself if you can not wait for the update of a ppa repository.
Download the latest tar.gz to update:
a) Download the latest tar ball here
b) Extract to a folder  php-5.4.x where you want to install the php 5.4.x.
c)  cd to the folder php-5.4.x.
d)  Check the INSTALL file in the downloaded folder to see the installation construction.
e) Normally, it is as following:
./configure --with-mysql (this is with mysql extensions enabled, if you want also with apache, you can  use others, you can use ./configure --help to check how to use others )
f)  sudo make
g) sudo make install
h) php -v, you can use this to  check whether you update to the version that you want.

install ipython in Cloudera VM using pip

I am practicing pyspark in Cloudera VM, and pyspack need be launched by ipython. In all the old Cloudera VM guide, it use easy_install to install ipython, but it does not work in Virtualbox 5.2.0 r118431 and later. And will get the error : $sudo easy_install ipython==1.2.1 ... error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('ipython==1.2.1') The solution for this is to use pip to install ipython. But by default, pip is not installed in cloudera VM, and pip can not be installed by eacy_install as well. And after some search, I  noticed cloudera has yum installed, and yum can install pip: $sudo yum install python-pip ... $which pip /usr/bin/pip Now ipython can be installed b pip: $sudo pip install ipython=1.2.1 ... Succesfully installled ipython-1.2.1 After that, launch spack by ipython: $PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=ipython pyspark ... Welcome to       ____                      ...
