Hi
I can't post my whole text because it gets detected as spam. So I will add replies to this and see what works.
I have PHP version is 8.2.8 installed
I have sodium support => enabled
I am getting the "expecting variable" error adminlib.php on line 3899
I will add bits to try and get past the spam filter
This error is showing up on install. It seems this happens when the wrong PHP is installed. I have 8.2.8 installed
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '|', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /var/www/html/moodle/lib/adminlib.php on line 3899

No Moodle release as of today, July 2023, is compatible with PHP 8.2. See MDL-76405. For general compatibility check the release notes available via https://moodledev.io/general/releases.

This error indicates your web server is using PHP 7.4. Access a file containing phpinfo() from your browser and see which version is reported at the top.
If you've recently upgraded PHP maybe your web server process needs restarting to apply this change (for example, with systemctl restart php-fpm). Or maybe your server is configured to use different PHP versions for the command line and web server, in this case PHP 8.2 and PHP 7.4 respectively.
Sorry your new post got marked as spam. As I explained in the support channel, there are restrictions on new accounts posting links (which is what spammers like to do) but once your account is a bit older you'll be able to post links when you want. I see you are getting advice here now, so that's good.
