How To Install XCache on Fedora 23

Pre-Flight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for installing XCache, an open-source opcode caching tool, on Fedora 23. To install XCache on another operating system, follow our guides for CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 15.04.
• We’ll be logging in as a non-root user to a Liquid Web Self-Managed Fedora 23 server. If you need more information then visit our tutorial on How to Add a User and Grant Root Privileges on Fedora 23.

Step #1: Install XCache

As a matter of best practice we’ll update our packages with:

sudo dnf -y update

Now we’ll install XCache and any required packages with the following command:

sudo dnf -y install php-xcache xcache-admin

Step #2: Verify the Extension is Available

You can verify that the extension is available with the following command:

php -m | grep XCache

That will output results similar to:

[root@host ~]# php -m | grep XCache
XCache
XCache Cacher
XCache Coverager
XCache Optimizer


Listing the PHP version with “php -v” should now also include information about XCache:

[root@host ~]# php -v
