How to install PHP 5.6.40 on Plesk 18.0.58 and Debian 12.4?

I know you should avoid using PHP 5.6 but I just migrated an old server to a new one and there are several old sites that still use PHP 5.6.
How do I install this version simply/automatically?

In the Plesk settings (add features) only PHP 7 and 8 appears.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I strongly recommend using the PHP Packages of DEB.SURY.ORG when using Debian (or Ubuntu).
It's way easier to install and more secure, as if you compile yourself using the original PHP sources, you'll gonna have very serious security vulnerabilities like CVE-2019-11043 on your hands...
