There are bunch of different instructions how to install LAMP+Wordpress on Ubuntu distro, I simplified the installation process based on Ubuntu 19.10 LTS, and it won’t take more than 5 minutes to complete entire procedures.
$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
$sudo mysql_secure_installation
$sudo mysql
mysql>ALTER USER ‘root’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘root_password’;
mysql>CREATRE DATABASE dbname mysql>CREATE USER ‘username’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘user_password’;
mysql>GRANT ALL ON dbname.* TO ‘username’@’localhost’;
mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql>exit;
Download latest wordpress at https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz and start installation on /var/www/html folder.
