Installation of LAMPP

Note : LAMPP is the Linux specific version of XAMPP.

Download LAMPP-Server using this command

Goto https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html and download the version of LAMPP software that you want for Linux (Ubuntu).

Open your Terminal and locate the file (by default it downloads into the Downloads folder)

cd Downloads

Execute this command

Note : The version of XAMPP you'll download might be different, so change the version in this command accordingly.
