PHP Repository Installation

1

Hi, I’m using Amazon Linux 2023 with LEMP installed for WordPress. and I’ve using NginX’s and MariaDB’s official repositories. Since there’s no official php repo, so I used the Amazon Linux 2023 repository, but its php package doesn’t have the php module imagick recommended by WP.

It’s been stated Amazon Linux 2023 doesn’t support EPEL, so is there any way to install imagick?

Thanks!

As you are aware, php-pecl-imagick has been removed in Amazon Linux 2023.
Also, the EPEL repository cannot be used.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ja_jp/linux/al2022/release-notes/removed-packages.html

So follow the steps below to add the Fedora 36 repository.

sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

[fedora]
name=Fedora 36 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.example/pub/fedora/linux/releases/36/Everything/$basearch/os/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-36&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
countme=1
metadata_expire=7d
repo_gpgcheck=0
type=rpm
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg
skip_if_unavailable=False

After adding the repository, you can install it with the following command.

sudo dnf --enablerepo=fedora install php-pecl-imagick -y

    How to add Fedora 38 repo? Because Fedora 36 is deprecated and no longer maintained or updated.

    I just tried the following settings and was able to install even on Fedora 38.

    [fedora]
name=Fedora 38 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.example/pub/fedora/linux/releases/36/Everything/$basearch/os/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-38&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
countme=1
metadata_expire=7d
repo_gpgcheck=0
type=rpm
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg
skip_if_unavailable=False

    sudo dnf --enablerepo=fedora install php-pecl-imagick -y
sudo dnf --enablerepo=fedora info php-pecl-imagick
