You may have to click Save File or select the “Downloads” folder as your save location before proceeding.

You can also just press Alt+Ctrl+T to open a new Terminal window.

Make sure you capitalize “Downloads”. If your default downloads location is in a different folder, you’ll have to change the directory to that folder.

If you download a different version of XAMPP (e. g. , version 5. 9. 3), you’ll replace “7. 2. 9” with your XAMPP version’s number.

You won’t see the characters appear in Terminal when you type.

Click Next three times. Uncheck the “Learn more about Bitnami for XAMPP” box. Click Next, then click Next again to begin installing XAMPP.

Since XAMPP needs a few extra steps to actually run on Linux, you’ll need to finish the installation without automatically running XAMPP.

XAMPP doesn’t have any desktop files, so you’ll need to launch it from within its installation directory via Terminal each time you want to run it.
