How to Install PHP 8.2 in CentOS 9 Stream
PHP is a script language and interpreter that is freely available and used primarily on Linux Web servers.
To install PHP 8.2, we’ll need to add/enable the Remi RPM repositories which contain the PHP 8.2 packages that we need.
Pre-requisites :
-
A system with CentOS 9 Stream installed and running.
- root access to the system.
First, let’s start by ensuring your system is up-to-date.
