on CentOS:
1. You need to install PHP’s devel package for PHP commands execution
yum install php-devel
yum install php-pear

2. Next install GCC and GCC C++ compilers to compile Xdebug extension yourself.
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

3. Compile Xdebug
pecl install Xdebug

4. Find the php.ini file using
locate php.ini
And add the following line
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1

5. Restart Apache
service httpd restart

6. Test if it works – create test.php with the following code
<?php phpinfo() ?>

Centos 6:

# pecl install Xdebug
pecl/xdebug requires PHP (version >= 5.4.0), installed version is 5.3.3
No valid packages found

XDebug supported PHP 5.3 until 2.2.7.
You can install by this command.

# pecl install xdebug-2.2.7

Centos 7:
$ yum install php70u-pecl-xdebug

Updated php from 5.3 to 5.4 in centos 6 with this:

@radub you can take a look at the supported php version for each xdebug version at https://xdebug.org/download.php for your version it's 2.5.5. You can install that using pecl install Xdebug-2.5.5

We have PHP version 5.4.x so I used pecl install xdebug-2.4.1 instead. Found using the link above from @abdelatnova. Everything else went great.
