My file was different, check your spelling and capitalization.

suitecrm-8-6-1

The php zip module is not installed or enabled.
Do you see it in the list when you run this?
php -m

To install and enable it on Mint (debian), try these commands:

sudo apt install php-zip
sudo apt install php8.2-zip
sudo apt install php-pecl-zip
sudo pecl install zip
sudo phpenmod zip

Hello Larry,

once the environment is ready, the upgrade works ok.
But I had some issues with the lower / upper case of the docs.

Thank you for the suggestions, Sorry for delay. I’m having major computer issues, it may take a while to show it who is the boss.

Hi Larry,

From the provided upgrade logs it looks like the ZipArchive extenion is not enabled on your environment. The ZipArchive class is part of the ZIP extension in PHP. You need to ensure that this extension is installed and enabled.
Following are the installation commands for zip extension:
sudo apt-get install php-zip # For Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install php-pecl-zip # For CentOS/RHEL
After installing this restart the apache and try upgrading the SuiteCRM.
