Download Wamp Server 2.0

Download Xampp

Install on linux

After downloading simply type in the following commands:

  1. Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:

    su

  2. Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:

    tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.8a.tar.gz -C /opt

    Warning: Please use only this command to install XAMPP. DON'T use any Microsoft Windows tools to extract the archive, it won't work.

    Warning 2: already installed XAMPP versions get overwritten by this command.

That's all. XAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp directory.

To start XAMPP simply call this command:

/opt/lampp/lampp start

You should now see something like this on your screen:

Starting XAMPP 1.6.8a...

LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.

Ready. Apache and MySQL are running.
