Where can I locate LAMP

Question

I am a complete novice. How can I locate LAMP on my computer?

See this URL in your browser: http://localhost for apache (aka. the website set up after installing LAMP) — Rinzwind, Feb 02 '17 at 10:28
In general: learn what dpkg -l, dpkg -S and dpkg -L do , this helps greatly in "finding where the #&&%&%!! stuff I just installed went" ;) — rackandboneman, Feb 02 '17 at 17:12

LAMP is a set of programs. It stands for:

Linux (Operating system)
Apache (Webserver)
MySQL (Database)
PHP (Programming language)

So LAMP isn't a single thingie you can find, but a combination of applications installed on your system... and even IS your system (the L for Linux part)

This still doesn't provide an answer to the question. You should put how to find them (i.e, dpkg and its options). – AStopher Feb 02 '17 at 22:56
@cybermonkey .. this provides the answer that LAMP isn't a single item you can find on your Ubuntu system, and what the acronym stands for. This is a nice offset to discover and learn about Ubuntu. – Soren A Feb 03 '17 at 13:55

..which isn't something that the question asked. The question asked how can I locate it?, not what is it?. You need to answer the question. – AStopher Feb 03 '17 at 13:59

To install LAMP on Ubuntu Server using the GUI, you would use the command:

sudo tasksel

Then you would highlight the LAMP option and press space to confirm selection.

To install it easier with only the shell you would use this command:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
