@scottalanmiller said in Installing WordPress on Fedora 25 and 26 Minimal install:

For ease and speed and better management, I highly recommend using WP-CLI for all of your downloading, updating, configuration, etc. One like of WP-CLI will eliminate most of this installation, while making it easier to maintain in the long run.

Yup, that's what I use now, I won't every go back!

I just did a side-by-side install comparison. Here are the results. The details are in the screenshots: (no Cockpit in minimal install, twice as many packages in basic)

This is good. I'm sure many newbies miss the firewall currently because of 1511.

Looks like def more than minimal.

[root@bna-cmty ~]# yum -y install nano wget firewalld yum-cron epel-release Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.rackspace.com * epel: mirror.steadfast.net * extras: centos.mirrors.tds.net * updates: cosmos.illinois.edu Package nano-2.3.1-10.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package wget-1.14-10.el7_0.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package firewalld-0.3.9-14.el7.noarch already installed and latest version Package epel-release-7-8.noarch already installed and latest version Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package yum-cron.noarch 0:3.4.3-132.el7.centos.0.1 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution

Not going to bother making a comparison, just noting that nano and wget are not part of a minimal install. Neither is epel, but firewalld actually is back in the minimal package if you go look at the monthly releases instead of the last "release" which was 1511.
