When I said what shall I do, I didnt mean how do I do.  I meant, a noose, a bullet or a hand grenade

That's the CWP installer, which compiles & installs CSF/LFD onto the system.
Much like Apache, PHP, etc.

Isn't coming from the AlmaLinux OS side.

speaking of php...

during the cwp install I saw error messages about pear.php.net.   It was scrolling fast but I gather it wanted me to do something later on after the install finished.

This is we do on AL9 after CWP is installed:

Code Select Expand

dnf install php-cli libsodium libsodium-devel php-sodium php-pecl-zip php-pecl-mailparse php-mbstring php-pear php-devel php-pecl-imagick

Code Select Expand

pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

[Namaste]

And what would be the consequence if I wasnt watching the logs at the time?

Not fully sure.

When you build PHP, it connects to some of it for the extensions.
