This guide walks you through adding the Remi RPM repository to a Fedora system, enabling the PHP stream you need—whether it’s 8.2, 8.1, 8.0 or 7.4—and installing the core runtime along with common extensions such as CLI, FPM, MySQLnd, XML, JSON and GD. It shows how to list available PHP modules, activate a specific one with `dnf module enable`, then pull in all the packages at once so your server is ready for Apache, Nginx or other web stacks.
