I am running an EC2 server on AWS and I was looking into upgrading php from 7.2 to 7.3. However, all the tutorials I found were on Ubuntu and they all used the apt
command instead of yum
.
I also ran the command cat /etc/os-release
to find out what the operating system of my server is and the ID_LIKE line said ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
.
I found instructions on the upgrade that are relatively simple on Ubuntu.
Does anyone know how I would translate the following commands for CentOS using yum
instead of apt
on Ubuntu?
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y php7.3

In CentOS you have to enable the extra epel repository first and change the php version.
Then you should be able to install the new php version. Try
yum update
or reinstall the packages.https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-php-7-3-on-centos-7-fedora/
