Ubuntu Server Installing PHP 7 WITHOUT Apache
<p>I'm trying to get my server re-setup as a Lemp stack</p>

<p>The issue I am now running into is installing PHP 7 <strong>without</strong> Apache, since nGinx will be my webserver.</p>

<p>So, I've added <code>ppa:ondrej/php</code>. ran <code>apt-get update</code>, and tried to install just php7.0 via <code>apt-get install php7.0</code></p>

<p><code>--nodeps</code> flag does not work, as I am on Ubuntu 15.10</p>

<p>And I am presented with:</p>

<pre><code>The following extra packages will be installed:
  apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php7.0 libapr1
  libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap liblua5.1-0 libqdbm14
  php-common php-readline php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-common php7.0-json
  php7.0-opcache php7.0-readline
Suggested packages:
  apache2-doc apache2-suexec-pristine apache2-suexec-custom php-pear
  php-user-cache
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php7.0 libapr1
  libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap liblua5.1-0 libqdbm14
  php php-common php-readline php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-common php7.0-json
  php7.0-opcache php7.0-readline
</code></pre>

<p>I <strong>do not want</strong> apache anywhere near my server, so how can I install php7 without it?  Short of compiling from source (as this makes it difficult at best to keep it updated)</p>
