Error: GPG check FAILED

The solution to this is ensuring Zabbix GPG key is imported into the system.

 sudo rpm --import https://repo.zabbix.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-ZABBIX

For Debian-based Linux distributions, use:

# Using curl
curl -fsSL https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix-official-repo.key| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/zabbix.gpg

# Using wget
wget -qO- https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix-official-repo.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo dd of=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/zabbix.gpg

Then update cache

# Debian based systems
sudo apt update

# RHEL based systems
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum makecache -y

Then proceed with the installation of the application. With these few steps, you should resolve GPG key issue and proceed with your application installation.
