Step 1 – Setup Yum Repository
In the first step install all the required yum repositories in your system used in the remaining tutorial for various installations. You are adding REMI, EPEL, Webtatic & MySQL community server repositories in your system.
CentOS / RHEL 7
yum install epel-release rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm rpm -Uvh http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-community-release-el7-7.noarch.rpm
CentOS / RHEL 6
yum install epel-release rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm rpm -Uvh http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-community-release-el6-5.noarch.rpm
Step 2 – Install PHP 7.2
Now install php 7 packages from webtatic rpm repository using following command.
yum --enablerepo=remi-php72 install php
Now install required php modules. Use following command to list available modules in yum repositories.

Now check all listed modules in above command and install required modules like below.
yum --enablerepo=remi-php72 install php-mysql php-xml \ php-soap php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-json php-gd php-mcrypt
Step 3 – Install Apache 2.4
Apache (HTTPD) is the most popular web server used on Linux systems. Let’s install Apache web server using following command with enabling epel and remi yum repositories.
yum --enablerepo=epel,remi install httpd
Now start httpd service and enable to start on boot using below commands.
systemctl start httpd.service systemctl enable httpd.service
Step 4 – Install MySQL 5.6
