i believe this error means that i need to install the php-process module php-posix.

can someone please confirm this is the correct solution?

if so, am i correct in assuming that i should install the posix extension as a base package via $ dnf install php-process?

please help :upside_down_face:

php-posix is listed as a requirement in the official documentation, so I think chances are high that your issue will be solved by installing the module…
