zip extension not on

I get an during install that the zip extension is not on and can't continue. Godaddy support say gzip is installed and working, but they have no knowledge of zip extension. I have no idea how to solve this problem.

check your PHP version
with 000webhost the host allows you to change your php version with one click. it defaults to the newest. 7.0, after reading installation requirements of 5.4+ I switched the php version on my hosts dashboard to 5.4 and this zip problem was resolved immediately

I am using GoDaddy for hosting and had this problem too. Open up Cpanel and go to 'Select PHP Version." VDo not change version. Look for the "Zip" option in the list and click on the select box next to it to turn it on. Then just save.
