Steps
1
Download and save the latest version of #Wordpress from the following link: http://wordpress.org/latest.zip.
2
Extract the contents of the ZIP file called "wordpress.zip", which was downloaded in step 1, to the htdocs folder within the '/opt/lampp/
hdoc directory.
If ZIP file extracted properly there
should be a new directory called "wordpress"
within the \opt\lampp\htdocs directory.
3
In your terminal, type the following to grant
write privileges to the wp-config.php file.
You'll
need this for later.
chmod a+rw /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress -R
4
Run XAMPP and make sure all three servers
are up and running.
5
Go to the XAMPP main page by opening a web
browser and entering the following URL: http://
localhost/dashboard/.
6
Select the link called "phpMyAdmin" on the upper
right hand side of your screen on the menu, or by
entering the following URL: http://localhost/
phpmyadmin
7
In the field labeled "Create new database"
enter the name "wordpress" then click
↵ Enter.
8
In your browser, navigate to 'localhost/
wordpress'.
You will see a message that tells you
a configuration file must be made. Click Create
configuration file and on the following page, click
Let's Go!.
9
Enter
wordpress for your Database Name, root
as your User Name, and leave 'Password' blank.
Click Submit.
10
Click
Run the install.
11
Enter a title for your blog, your email address
and chose a unique password and username.
After you're done, click Install Wordpress.
12
Voila!
You have successfully installed Wordpress on
XAMPP on your Linux machine! See that wasn't so
hard was it? Pat yourself on the back you've
accomplished something many people find quite
difficult (probably cause they haven't read this
post).
