+##### Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Rocky Linux
+
+*Note: The term "RHEL" below refers to both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Rocky Linux. The distributions are 1:1 binary compatible.*
+
+It's recommended to use the latest Python versions. 
+
+RHEL 8 in particular ships with Python 3.6 by default which is EOL and therefore no longer supported by Synapse. RHEL 9 ship with Python 3.9 which is still supported by the Python core team as of this writing. However, newer Python versions provide significant performance improvements and they're available in official distributions' repositories. Therefore it's recommended to use them.
+
+Python 3.11 and 3.12 are available for both RHEL 8 and 9.
+
+These commands should be run as root user.
+
+RHEL 8
+```bash
+# Enable PowerTools repository
+dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
+```
+RHEL 9
+```bash
+# Enable CodeReady Linux Builder repository
+crb enable
+```
+
+Install new version of Python. You only need one of these:
+```bash
+# Python 3.11
+dnf install python3.11 python3.11-devel
+```
+```bash
+# Python 3.12
+dnf install python3.12 python3.12-devel
+```
+Finally, install common prerequisites
+```bash
+dnf install libicu libicu-devel libpq5 libpq5-devel lz4 pkgconf 
+dnf group install "Development Tools"
+```
+###### Using venv module instead of virtualenv command
+
+It's recommended to use Python venv module directly rather than the virtualenv command.
+* On RHEL 9, virtualenv is only available on [EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/).
+* On RHEL 8, virtualenv is based on Python 3.6. It does not support creating 3.11/3.12 virtual environments.
+
+Here's an example of creating Python 3.12 virtual environment and installing Synapse from PyPI. 
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/synapse
+# To use Python 3.11, simply use the command "python3.11" instead.
+python3.12 -m venv ~/synapse/env
+source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
+pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install --upgrade setuptools
+pip install matrix-synapse
 ```

All media, including authenticated media, will be available over the authenticated media endpoints `_matrix/client/v1/media/download` and `_matrix/client/v1/media/thumbnail`. Media uploaded prior to setting this option to true will still be available over the legacy endpoints. Note if the setting is switched to false
+after enabling, media marked as authenticated will be available over legacy endpoints. Defaults to false, but
+this will change to true in a future Synapse release.
+
+Example configuration:
+```yaml
+enable_authenticated_media: true
+```

 ### `enable_media_repo`
 
 Enable the media store service in the Synapse master. Defaults to true.
