Solution for Syntax Error – Unexpected ‘)’ while installing Magento 2.4:

If you witness the above error, open setupsrcMagentoSetupModule.php file

At line number 81, remove the “,”  at last.

Your getConfig function code is as below:

public function getConfig()
{
    // phpcs:disable
    $result = array_merge_recursive(
        include __DIR__ . '/../../../config/module.config.php',
        include __DIR__ . '/../../../config/router.config.php',
        include __DIR__ . '/../../../config/di.config.php',
        include __DIR__ . '/../../../config/states.install.config.php',
        include __DIR__ . '/../../../config/languages.config.php'
    );
    // phpcs:enable
    return $result;
}

That’s it.

You can simply skip this error and opt for Meetanshi’s Magento 2 Upgrade Service to upgrade your store to the latest Magento 2.4.3 version.
