Install xampp in linux

Hello,

I am trying to install xampp in linux but failed to do. I am using VMware. I downloaded xampp linux version:

root@ubuntu-vm:/home/davy_yg/Downloads# chmod 755 xampp-linux-x64-7.2.24-0-installer.run root@ubuntu-vm:/home/davy_yg/Downloads# xampp-linux-x64-7.2.24-0-installer.run xampp-linux-x64-7.2.24-0-installer.run: command not found

@davy_yg In Linux, it will only look for files within the PATH environment variable. To denote same directory, you need to prefix the file with an .

./xampp-linux-x64-7.2.24-0-installer.run

Is that nginx ? It's funny that I installed xampp-linux and after I am done, I can't even find where I installed it. There is no short cut either in the desktop.

I can find this path: opt\lampp\apache2\htdocs

What is that ? Is that the xampp-linux that I installed?
