How to Install PHP 8.x in CentOS 10 Stream
PHP is a popular scripting language used primarily for web development. To install PHP 8.x on CentOS 10 Stream, we need to enable the EPEL and Remi repositories, which contain the latest PHP packages.
Pre-requisites
- A system with CentOS 10 Stream installed and running.
- Root access to the system.
Update Your System
Before installing PHP, ensure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
dnf update -yOutput:
