Cannot download RemiRepo for CentOs 8

Question

I meet the trouble, when i try to install Remi repository for downloading php. When i use command:

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

I have an error:

    Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides redhat-release >= 8.6 needed by remi-release-8.6-1.el8.remi.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

What i do wrong? Thanks for help!

Answer 1

As explained by the error message, you need CentOS >= 8.6 to take benefit of "remi" repository.

Reminder, CentOS 8 latest version is 8.5, but is no more supported, you have to switch to an alternative:

• CentOS 8 Stream, see how to switch
• RHEL 8 (free subscription available)
• Alma Linux
• Rocky Linux
• or some other RHEL clones
