    If you can’t see the Twitter Plug when you install it, you might not have PHP5.4 installed.

    If you are using AWS CentOS you can change to PHP5.4 for WordPress by using these commands: 

    sudo service httpd stop
sudo yum remove php php-gd php-mysql php-common
sudo yum erase httpd httpd-tools apr apr-util
sudo yum install php54 php54-gd php54-mysql
sudo yum update
sudo service httpd start

    This works just fine for a PHP+MySQL+WordPress install.

    You might need to check the apache config script, if you do that’s

    sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    Thank you @briantist_uk! Very helpful. AWS is one of the only hosts I know of that let customers upgrade their own PHP version. I think Media Temple might too, and most of them will if you’re on the right plan (not shared hosting, etc).
