 As of writing, MediaWiki requires PHP 7.3.19-24, 7.4.3, or later and will need to be installed manually.
   <nowiki>sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
- sudo dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm</nowiki>
+sudo dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm</nowiki>
   <nowiki>sudo dnf module reset php
- sudo dnf module install php:remi-8.0</nowiki>
+sudo dnf module install php:remi-8.0 </nowiki>
 Install the module to support the use of MariaDB:
-  <nowiki>sudo dnf install php-mysqlnd</nowiki>
+  <nowiki>sudo dnf install php-mysqlnd </nowiki>
 This may already be installed on the server, if so you can move on to the next step without issue.
 Restart the Apache httpd.service for the changes to take effect:
-  <nowiki>sudo systemctl restart httpd.service</nowiki>
+  <nowiki>sudo systemctl restart httpd.service </nowiki>
