Hello @Stephen_Oduor and welcome.

  1. Did you make sure to pre-install PHP 7.2 and the required PHP extensions before attempting to install Magento?
  2. What command are you running when you see this?

Ok, so it seems like you’ve chosen the GitHub method.

The message you’re receiving seems to indicate that HHVM is in conflict with PHP 7.2. This would mean that your environment is not “fit-for-purpose”. Not only that, but as of Magento 2.2 it no longer supports HipHop Virtual Machine (HHVM) (Ref).

You need to explore “how to remove any trace of HHVM from your Web Server so it no longer conflicts with PHP 7.2”. That’s a little outside our expertise. Therefore, you’d be best off asking the folks over at https://unix.stackexchange.com

You need to uninstall hhvm. I was struglying with this very thing for some hours now.
I was doing this on github actions on Ubuntu 18.04 and for some reason hhvm came installed.

sudo apt remove hhvm

fixed the problem
