IMPORTANT: These instruction are only for a new server installation or those who wish to remove the previous version of PHP and run ONLY PHP 7.2 on the server.

If you are upgrading a server to PHP 7.2, and still need to be able to run a previous version of PHP, please see the PHP 7.2 Upgrade Instructions

Additionally, REDHAT 8 does not auto configure php-fpm as it does in previous versions, so for REDHAT 8, the upgrade instructions should be used: PHP 7.2 Upgrade
