Please update your article to show eZ Publish 6.0 on PHP 8.3. It’s just been released for everyone to install.

Maybe show users how eZ Publish 6.0 can be installed via composer.

eZ Publish lives on side by side with eZ Platform.

Please update your article to reflect that ezsystems is now called ibexa and they stopped eZ Publish 5.4 releases over 10 years ago and the community of eZ Publish developers has kept it running until 7x stepped up to continue releasing the cms

You should have separate articles for eZ Publish and eZ Platform as they represent different feature sets and requirements for installation and development.
