Issue
I'm currently trying to install PHP Tidy on a CentOS 7 server (I'm running PHP Version 5.4.16 if that helps as well), but am having problems with the install.
I've been running (as per the documentation)
yum install php-tidy
but get the following error:
No package php-tidy available.
Error: Nothing to do
I've found someone having the same problem here, and the answer is listed as
When I installed via CentOS tidy.x86_64 and php-tidy.x86_64 were installed but Red Hat could not find the php-tidy.x86_64 rpm and I had to add the EPEL repository, then I managed to install php-tidy.x86_64 and it worked
...but I'm not sure what to make of that.
I've also found via the official Tidy documentation:
On Redhat-ish linux, you must install both libtidy and libtidy-devel (PHP 5.x): sudo yum install libtidy libtidy-devel
...however I also get the same "No package..." error.
My only lead is that it doesn't appear that any of the documentation has to do with CentOS 7 (I believe they use CentOS 6 or 5, or an older version of PHP) and some of the suggestions are that some systems require yum install php5-tidy instead. So hence my original question on if Tidy is supported on CentOS 7, or if there is something else I might be doing incorrectly.
Solution
Use the webtatic repo ... PHP 5.6 on CentOS/RHEL 7.1 and 6.7 via Yum

php56w-tidy
