Cannot install xampp in ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Question

I was trying to install xampp into my ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I got guidance from this video to do that. But it wasn't working well for me. I got stuck at the middle. Help me get out of it. These were the steps followed by me to get it.

I went here and downloaded xampp version 1.8.3 for linux. And I proceeded with the following terminal messages.

I would be highly grateful if I could install xampp in the same way as my video teaches.

The description and details about .run files are disscused in here What are .run files? the problem in your case is that you should run following commands

chmod 755 xampp.run[or any of your package name]

sudo ./xampp.run not

chmod 777 -R xampp.run

./xampp.run

see this for more info

you can download your package from one more method

add ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/xampp

update

sudo apt-get update

install xampp

sudo apt-get install xampp

check this link for more help

also you should check if you have downloaded a correct file or not according to your hardware configuration like for 64-bit os you have downloaded x64 or i386 file

what are you doing don't use (``) use the command except these quotes or whatever they are – Chinmaya B Jul 19 '14 at 15:56
use ';' after your command – Chinmaya B Jul 19 '14 at 16:12
