Error whnen install 11.2 "syntax error, unexpected identifier "RECIPE_PACKAGE_TYPE",

I tested installing Drupal 11.2.2 with PHP 8.3 on my local setup using DDEV, and the installation completed without any errors.

The web and vendor folders were created properly.
Could you please confirm if you have tried the installation using PHP 8.3 as well?
Also, are you using DDEV or some other local environment like XAMPP, Docker, etc.?

Sharing these details could help us better understand the issue and possibly isolate the cause.

I just tried on Php8.3, exactly the same problem and error message . I am installing on a clean fresh VPS hosting account, no DDEV XAMPP or anything else.

Thanks for confirming.
Since the issue persists on PHP 8.3 in your VPS environment, it likely relates to your server’s PHP build, extensions, or configuration.
Please share your exact PHP version output (php -v), enabled extensions (php -m), and OS details. Checking OPcache settings or clearing Composer cache (composer clear-cache) might also help.

By the error it could be that the PHP version is not actually 8.4.

To provide more information, I received the same error when trying to do a clean install with DDEV on PHP version 8.2.22 and Composer 2.7.7.
Upgrading to PHP version 8.3 and attempting the installation with DDEV again worked correctly.
