For Centos 8 branch we have this as basic programs :
Code:
yum install wget gcc gcc-c++ flex bison make bind bind-libs bind-utils openssl openssl-devel perl quota libaio \
libcom_err-devel libcurl-devel gd zlib-devel zip unzip libcap-devel cronie bzip2 cyrus-sasl-devel perl-ExtUtils-Embed \
autoconf automake libtool which patch mailx bzip2-devel lsof glibc-headers kernel-devel expat-devel \
psmisc net-tools systemd-devel libdb-devel perl-DBI perl-Perl4-CoreLibs perl-libwww-perl xfsprogs rsyslog logrotate crontabs file kernel-headers

But is this also true for Centos 9 / Almalinux 9 branch ?
 
There is no need to install any packages before installation.

I do know that is an part of the setup process but the reason I am asking is different.
When doing an inplace upgrade from Almalinux 8 to AL 9 this is not installed by default , one of the pre request is that these files must be reinstalled , see guide here : https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/how-to-inplace-upgrade-from-centos-7-to-almalinux-8-5.64994/

But to have this covered in the future its good to have this also in the DA Docs , which only mention Centos 8 / AL 8 pre requested files, please share if there is any list of this
 
Current list in newest version of DA is:
Debian:
Code:
apt-get -y install patch diffutils perl tar zip unzip curl openssl quota logrotate rsyslog zstd cron pkg-config ca-certificates dnsutils python3

AlmaLinux/RockyLinux:
Code:
yum -y install patch diffutils perl tar zip unzip curl openssl quota logrotate rsyslog zstd cronie hostname e2fsprogs xfsprogs crontabs file net-tools which
 
@smtalk thank you very much , one last question: is this only valid for 9.x only branch or can be used for 8 + 9 branch ?
