Installing PHP 8.5.4RC1 or PHP 8.4.19RC1 on Fedora and RHEL via Remi Test Repositories
Remi Collet has made available PHP 8.5.4RC1 and 8.4.19RC1 for developers to test language changes before they hit production, through the Remi Test Repositories on Fedora and RHEL. To use these releases, you need to enable the Remi repositories first by running a few commands in your terminal - this involves installing the dnf-plugins-core package and enabling the remi-modular-test and remi-test repos. If your system already has PHP installed, you can install the RC as an SCL without replacing your default version, and then switch to it using update-alternatives; or if you want to use the new version system-wide, you can swap the module directly with dnf. When you're done testing, reverting is easy - just switch back to a stable version and run an update, and the old packages will replace the RC ones without affecting other system components.
Installing PHP 8.5.4RC1 or PHP 8.4.19RC1 on Fedora and RHEL via Remi Test Repositories
Remi Collet has released PHP 8.5.4RC1 and 8.4.19RC1 for testing in the Remi Test Repositories on Fedora and RHEL. To install these release candidates, users must first enable the Remi repositories by running specific commands in the terminal. Developers can either install the RC as a Software Collection to keep their existing PHP version or switch the module directly for system-wide use. The final releases of both PHP versions are expected on March 12th, and any issues discovered during testing will be addressed before the official launch
