   7- check mariadb service status to stop it if it is running: systemctl status mariadb.service
   8- make sure you have php 7.2 repo enabled:
        dnf module -y reset php
        dnf module -y enable php:7.2
        dnf downgrade -y php
   9- download from IBM fix central RTM 10.2 FP 13
   10- Make a directory to save RTM 10.2 FP13 :
