# Installing LAMP

## What is a LAMP in Linux?

LAMP stands for **Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP**. Together, they provide a proven set of software for delivering high-performance web applications. Each component contributes essential capabilities to the stack: Linux: The operating system.

## Installing a LAMP on Ubuntu 21.04

First of all. Make sure you are using an user with permissions so that you can use commands such as 'apt-get' etc.

{% hint style="info" %}
1 - Installing Apache WebServer
{% endhint %}

> root\@petrosky:/# apt install apache2

![](/files/zBGkZFmKYjV7GSRaFVwb)

{% hint style="info" %}
2 - Installing MariaDB
{% endhint %}

> root\@petrosky:/# apt install mariadb\*

![](/files/fx7ejM7yU05zIsRLgSu3)

{% hint style="info" %}
3 - Configuring the MariaDB database
{% endhint %}

> root\@petrosky:/# mysql\_secure\_installation
>
> You will be prompted whether to set a password or not. We highly recommend setting up a password for the 'root' DB User and disabling Remote SQL Connections.

{% hint style="info" %}
4 - Installing PHP
{% endhint %}

> root\@petrosky:/# apt install php libapache2-mod-php

![](/files/0iAqcSQ9JXuwPWpU9RL3)

Yet we are done! Now we have our LAMP Installed!
