Another topic with same subject... There is no mcrypt for PHP 7.2 as it was already deprecated in 7.1, but you could use PECL to install it:
Ubuntu:If you dont have PECL run - apt-get install php-pecl.
Now install requirements for mcrypt - apt-get install libmcrypt-dev libreadline-dev.
And now mcrypt - pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1
Centos:If you dont have PECL run - yum install php-pear.
For mcrypt - yum install php-mcrypt
Dont forget to add to your php.ini "mcrypt.so" as extension and for Centos you must have EPEL installed.
Last but not least, each PHP version comes with some changes. Sometimes there is nothing to do but sometimes the changes can be huge, so its always important to read release notes to see what you could expect with each PHP version.
P.S. My preferred OS is Centos and honestly i dont know anything about Ubuntu so please check if all the commands are correct.
