Disable Zabbix packages provided by EPEL, if you have it installed. Edit file /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and add the following statement.

[epel]
...
excludepkgs=zabbix*


Proceed with installing zabbix repository.

# rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.2/release/alma/9/noarch/zabbix-release-latest-7.2.el9.noarch.rpm
# dnf clean all # dnf install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-selinux-policy zabbix-agent

Make sure you have database server up and running.

Run the following on your database host.

# mysql -uroot -p
password
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
mysql> create user zabbix@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost;
mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
mysql> quit;

On Zabbix server host import initial schema and data. You will be prompted to enter your newly created password.

# zcat /usr/share/zabbix/sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -uzabbix -p zabbix

Disable log_bin_trust_function_creators option after importing database schema.

# mysql -uroot -p
password
mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 0;
mysql> quit;

Edit file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
