Set of commands for a quick Laravel install on RedHat 7.3

10/21/2017 Tech and IT
If you want to install Laravel on a RedHat 7.3 OS, you will have to use PHP 7.0.* as this is a Laravel minimum requirement, so this is the set of commands that I used in order to configure the needed software for Laravel. ( you can also download the set of commands as a text file below).
Also, I would like to mention that I generally prefer Nginx over Apache, and HTTPS obviously, but this is just a quick setup.
Commands:
#--- AutoStart network interface
nmtui
 
#--- Open FireWall 80
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
 
#--- Check the updated rules with:(optional)
firewall-cmd --list-all
 
#--- Delete PHP 5.4
yum list php
yum remove php.x86_64
 
#--- Delete HTTPD
yum list httpd
yum remove httpd.x86_64
 
#--- Repo List(optional)
subscription-manager repos --list
 
#--- Enable RHSCL
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-rpms
 
#--- Verify RHSCL Channels(optional)
