LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once\u00a0installed<\/strong>\u00a0you will be able to host your website on the sever you have installed LAMP on.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Start by going to your terminal and type the below command.
\n<\/strong>
\nsudo yum install httpd<\/code><\/p>\n

You should see the\u00a0download processing<\/strong>\u00a0before it asks you if you want to install:<\/p>\n

Type\u00a0\u201cy\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and hit Enter.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Start your Apache server by typing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

sudo service httpd start<\/code><\/p>\n

Apache should be installed properly now.\u00a0To check it, navigate to your IP address<\/strong>\u00a0in the address bar of your browser. You should see some form of a\u00a0test page<\/strong>\u00a0letting you know that Apache has installed properly.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Installing MySQL<\/strong><\/p>\n

MySQL is an open source database management system often used to store user data on a web server.<\/p>\n

With your\u00a0terminal still open<\/strong>, type in the following command:<\/p>\n

sudo yum install mysql-server<\/code><\/p>\n

If you are\u00a0running CentOS 7+<\/strong>, then you\u2019ll need to\u00a0install MySQL<\/strong>\u00a0using the following commands:<\/p>\n

yum install http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/get\/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm
\nyum install mysql-community-server<\/code><\/p>\n

Once\u00a0MySQL is installed<\/strong>, start the service using:<\/p>\n

sudo service mysqld start<\/code><\/p>\n

Next you\u2019ll need to set up a root password:<\/strong><\/p>\n

sudo \/usr\/bin\/mysql_secure_installation<\/code><\/p>\n

When asked for your current root password, leave the field blank and hit Enter. Type\u00a0\u201cy\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and hit Enter again when it asks if you would like to set the root password.<\/p>\n

Set the password<\/strong>\u00a0and be sure to store the password somewhere safe.<\/p>\n

Next you will be asked a series of questions.\u00a0Read through them and determine what you want your answers to be.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 4: Installing PHP<\/strong><\/p>\n

PHP is a server-side scripting language<\/strong>\u00a0designed for web development.<\/p>\n

Type the\u00a0command below to install PHP<\/strong><\/p>\n

sudo yum install php php-mysql<\/code><\/p>\n

Then follow the\u00a0prompts to install PHP.<\/strong><\/p>\n
