  3. Extract xammp-linux-x.x.x.tar.gz to opt- /opt/ lampp (sudo tar-xvf  xammp-linux-x.x.x.tar.gz -C /opt/) Check if the lampp FOLDER is created inside /opt/ then, (cd/opt/)
  4. CREATE LAUNCHER Type: Application, Name: XAMPP Control Panel (gksudo python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py)
  5. Run the launcher
  6. Test Load browser URL = http://localhost, or http://127.0.0.1

  8. To unzip joomla (sudo unzip Joomla_1.0.13-Stable-Full_Package.zip -d /opt/lampp/htdocs/website folder))
