The above commands will update the system packages and install Apache, PHP, MariaDB, Git, and other required packages.
The next step is to configure Apache and PHP. Open the terminal and run the following command to edit the Apache configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
In the Apache configuration file, find the following lines and uncomment them by removing the # symbol.
LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so

The next step is to configure MariaDB. Run the following command in the terminal to secure the MariaDB installation.
