 HOW TO UPGRADE PHP TO 8.2 IN OpenSUSE 15


Overview: This article explains how to upgrade to PHP 8.2 on openSUSE Leap 15 by adding the official PHP repository, installing the desired PHP version, and verifying the installation.


OpenSUSE is a free and open-source Linux distribution developed by the openSUSE project. It is offered in two main variations: Tumbleweed, an upstream rolling release distribution, and Leap, a stable release distribution which is sourced from SUSE Linux Enterprise.

Step 1:  Add PHP Repository for PHP 8.2 packages and refreshes the package manager's data.
              Run the following command 

root@gateway:~# sudo zypper addrepo -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/php/openSUSE_Leap_15.4/ PHP-OpenSUSE

root@gateway:~# sudo zypper refresh

Step 2:  Install PHP 8.2 from the added repository: Adjust the package name accordingly based on what's available in the repository.

root@gateway:~# sudo zypper install php8-8.2.15-lp154.150.1.x86_64

Step 3: Check the PHP Version. This should display the version of PHP you installed.

root@gateway:~# php -v
