📝 Install PHP 8.5 on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Stream, Alma, Rocky or other clone

Remi — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:16:00 +0100

Here is a quick howto upgrade default PHP version provided on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux or other clones with latest version 8.5.

You can also follow the Wizard instructions.

Architectures:

The repository is available for x86_64 (Intel/AMD) and aarch64 (ARM).

Repositories configuration:

On Fedora, standards repositories are enough, on Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS) the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) and Code Ready Builder (CRB) repositories must be configured.

Fedora 44

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-44.rpm

Fedora 43

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-43.rpm

Fedora 42

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-42.rpm

RHEL version 10.1

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-10.rpm

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
crb install

PHP module usage

With Fedora and EL, you can simply use the remi-8.4 stream of the php module

With Fedora (dnf5 has partial module support)

dnf module reset php
dnf module enable php:remi-8.5
dnf install php-cli php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml

Other distributions (dnf4)

dnf module switch-to php:remi-8.5/common

PHP upgrade

By choice, the packages have the same name as in the distribution, so a simple update is enough:

dnf update

That's all :)

$ php -v
PHP 8.5.3 (cli) (built: Feb 10 2026 18:25:51) (NTS gcc x86_64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Built by Remi's RPM repository  #StandWithUkraine
Zend Engine v4.5.3, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.5.3, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Known issues

The upgrade can fail (by design) when some installed extensions are not yet compatible with PHP 8.5.

See the compatibility tracking list: PECL extensions RPM status

If these extensions are not mandatory, you can remove them before the upgrade; otherwise, you must be patient.

Warning: some extensions are still under development, but it seems useful to provide them to upgrade more people and allow users to give feedback to the authors.

More information

If you prefer to install PHP 8.5 beside the default PHP version, this can be achieved using the php85 prefixed packages, see the PHP 8.5 as Software Collection post.

You can also try the configuration wizard.

This is also documented as the community way to install PHP 8.5 on the official PHP web site.

The packages available in the repository were used as sources for Fedora 44.

By providing a full feature PHP stack, with about 150 available extensions, 11 PHP versions, as base and SCL packages, for Fedora and Enterprise Linux, and with 300 000 downloads per day, the remi repository became in the last 21 years a reference for PHP users on RPM based distributions, maintained by an active contributor to the projects (Fedora, PHP, PECL...).

📦 QElectroTech version 0.100

Remi — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:32:00 +0100

RPM of QElectroTech version 0.100, an application to design electric diagrams, are available in remi for Fedora and Enterprise Linux 8 and 9.

The project has just released a new major version of its electric diagrams editor.

Official website: see http://qelectrotech.org/, the version announcement, and the ChangeLog.

ℹ️ Installation:

dnf --enablerepo=remi install qelectrotech

RPMs (version 0.100-1) are available for Fedora ≥ 41 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, RockyLinux...)

⚠️ Because of missing dependencies in EPEL-10 (related to QT5), it is not available for Enterprise Linux 10. The next version should be available using QT6.

Updates are also on the road to official repositories:

ℹ️ Notice: a Copr / Qelectrotech repository also exists, which provides "development" versions (0.101-DEV for now).

📝 Redis version 8.6

Remi — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:28:00 +0100

RPMs of Redis version 8.6 are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora ≥ 42 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, Alma, CentOS, Rocky...).

1. Installation

Packages are available in the redis:remi-8.6 module stream.

1.1. Using dnf4 on Enterprise Linux

# dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-<ver>.rpm
# dnf module switch-to redis:remi-8.6/common

1.2. Using dnf5 on Fedora

# dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-<ver>.rpm
# dnf module reset  redis
# dnf module enable redis:remi-8.6
# dnf install redis --allowerasing

You may have to remove the valkey-compat-redis compatibilty package.

2. Modules

Some optional modules are also available:

RedisBloom as redis-bloom
RedisJSON as redis-json
RedisTimeSeries as redis-timeseries

These packages are weak dependencies of Redis, so they are installed by default (if install_weak_deps is not disabled in the dnf configuration).

The modules are automatically loaded after installation and service (re)start.

The modules are not available for Enterprise Linux 8.

3. Future

Valkey also provides a similar set of modules, requiring some packaging changes already applied in Fedora official repository.

Redis may be proposed for unretirement and be back in the Fedora official repository, by me if I find enough motivation and energy, or by someone else.

I may also try to solve packaging issues for other modules (e.g. RediSearch). For now, module packages are very far from Packaging Guidelines, so obviously not ready for a review.

🪦 PHP 8.1 is retired

Remi — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 10:06:00 +0100

Two year afters PHP 8.0, and as announced, PHP version 8.1.34 was the last official release of PHP 8.1

To keep a secure installation, the upgrade to a maintained version is strongly recommended:

PHP 8.2 has security only support and will be maintained until December 2026.
PHP 8.3 has security only support and will be maintained until December 2027.
PHP 8.4 has active support and will be maintained until December 2026 (2028 for security).
PHP 8.5 has active support and will be maintained until November 2027 (2029 for security).

Read :

ℹ️ However, given the very important number of downloads by the users of my repository the version is still available in remi repository for Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS, Alma, Rocky...) and Fedora and will include the latest security fixes.

⚠️ This is a best effort action, depending on my spare time, without any warranty, only to give users more time to migrate. This can only be temporary, and upgrade must be the priority.

You can also watch the sources repository on github.

💎 PHP version 8.5 is released!

Remi — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:52:00 +0100

RC5 was GOLD, so version 8.5.0 GA was just released, at the planned date.

A great thanks to Volker Dusch, Daniel Scherzer and Pierrick Charron, our Release Managers, to all developers who have contributed to this new, long-awaited version of PHP, and to all testers of the RC versions who have allowed us to deliver a good-quality version.

RPMs are available in the php:remi-8.5 module for Fedora and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 and as Software Collection in the remi-safe repository.

Read the PHP 8.5.0 Release Announcement and its Addendum for new features and detailed description.

For memory, this is the result of 6 months of work for me to provide these packages, starting in July for Software Collections of alpha versions, in September for module streams of RC versions, and also a lot of work on extensions to provide a mostly full PHP 8.5 stack.

Installation: read the Repository configuration and choose installation mode, or follow the Configuration Wizard instructions.

Replacement of default PHP by version 8.5 installation (simplest):

Fedora (dnf 5):

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).rpm
dnf module reset php
dnf module enable php:remi-8.5
dnf install php

Enterprise Linux (dnf 4):

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-$(rpm -E %rhel).rpm
dnf module switch-to php:remi-8.5/common

Parallel installation of version 8.5 as Software Collection (recommended for tests):

yum install php85

To be noticed :

EL-10 RPMs are built using RHEL-10.0
EL-9 RPMs are built using RHEL-9.6
EL-8 RPMs are built using RHEL-8.10
This version will also be the default version in Fedora 44
Many extensions are already available, see the PECL extension RPM status page.

📝 Redis version 8.4

Remi — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 13:48:00 +0100

RPMs of Redis version 8.4 are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora ≥ 41 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 (RHEL, Alma, CentOS, Rocky...).

1. Installation

Packages are available in the redis:remi-8.4 module stream.

1.1. Using dnf4 on Enterprise Linux

# dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-<ver>.rpm
# dnf module switch-to redis:remi-8.4/common

1.2. Using dnf5 on Fedora

# dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-<ver>.rpm
# dnf module reset  redis
# dnf module enable redis:remi-8.4
# dnf install redis --allowerasing

You may have to remove the valkey-compat-redis compatibilty package.

2. Modules

Some optional modules are also available:

RedisBloom as redis-bloom
RedisJSON as redis-json
RedisTimeSeries as redis-timeseries

These packages are weak dependencies of Redis, so they are installed by default (if install_weak_deps is not disabled in the dnf configuration).

The modules are automatically loaded after installation and service (re)start.

The modules are not available for Enterprise Linux 8.

3. Future

Valkey also provides a similar set of modules, requiring some packaging changes already proposed for Fedora official repository.

Redis may be proposed for unretirement and be back in the Fedora official repository, by me if I find enough motivation and energy, or by someone else.

I may also try to solve packaging issues for other modules (e.g. RediSearch). For now, module packages are very far from Packaging Guidelines, so obviously not ready for a review.
