Can't install Wordpress plugin

I'm trying to add an 8MB Wordpress plugin, but when I try to add it I'm getting this error: "The Uploaded File Exceeds The uploadmaxfilesize directive in php.ini".
How do I increase the max filesize?

The max file upload size is controlled by PHP. You'll need to modify this setting in your php.ini file. You can usually find this file in one of these 2 locations:
/etc/php/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
If you're having trouble finding it, you can use the phpinfo() function to find it.
Example:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Once you've found your php.ini file, you can edit the following directives to increase the max filesize to whatever you'd like (in this example I've increased it to 256MB):
upload_max_filesize = 256M
post_max_size = 256M
memory_limit = 1000M
file_uploads = On
max_execution_time = 300
