ARM64 is only supported for Amazon Linux 2 and CentOS Linux 8 (including use with AWS Graviton 2 processor)

   For AWS Linux 2:

   sudo yum update -y
   sudo yum install -y git 
   sudo yum install -y amazon-linux-extras
   sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y epel

Clone the agent

Clone from github.com/newrelic/newrelic-php-agent. Here, you can also suggest a change and learn how to contribute to our PHP agent open source repository.

Build

Run the following from the top of the cloned repository:

1. make all
2. sudo make agent-install
3. sudo mkdir /var/log/newrelic
4. sudo chmod 777 /var/log/newrelic
5. sudo cp bin/daemon /usr/bin/newrelic-daemon

Configure the agent

1. Copy agent/scripts/newrelic.ini.template file to the same directory as php.ini. (Run php --ini to get its file path.)

2. Once you've created newrelic.ini and put it in the correct location, edit the file to add the following:

   • Add a valid license key to the line newrelic.license = "INSERT_YOUR_LICENSE_KEY".
   • Change the application name that's shown in one.newrelic.com on the line newrelic.appname = "PHP Application" (optional).
