WordPress and many of its plugins use PHP extensions that you\u2019ll need to install manually. This section is optional, but it will allow you to access some WordPress features you might not have access to with a basic PHP installation.<\/p>\n<pre>apt install php php-curl php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-xmlrpc php-soap php-intl php-zip<\/pre>\n<p>You can check your PHP version with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>php -v<\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre>PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2018 13:45:02) ( NTS )\r\nCopyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group\r\nZend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies\r\n    with Zend OPcache v7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies\r\n<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Install-the-MySQL-Database-server\"><\/span>Step 4: Install the MySQL Database server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, MySQL is the last software package we need to finish installing our LAMP stack. MySQL is an open-source database management system, commonly installed as part of the popular LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP\/Python\/Perl) stack. It is a very popular choice for managing databases, thanks to its continuous development and extensive feature set.<\/p>\n<p>On Ubuntu 18.04, only the latest version of MySQL is included in the APT package repository by default.<\/p>\n<p>To install the default package, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ apt install mysql-server<\/pre>\n<p>This will install MySQL version 5.7 on your server, but it will not prompt you to set a password or make any other configuration changes. Because this leaves your installation of MySQL vulnerable, in order to improve the security of your MySQL server, we recommend that you run the <strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong> script by typing the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>This script will help you to perform important security tasks, like setting up a root password, disabling remote root login, removing anonymous users, etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Create-a-Database-for-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 5: Create a Database for WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, we will create our MySQL database for our WordPress site. Log in to your MySQL server with the following command and enter your MySQL root password:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>In this section, we will create a new MySQL database <code>wordpress<\/code> and assign user access to it to a new user <code>admin_user<\/code> with password <code>StrongPassword<\/code><\/p>\n<pre>CREATE DATABASE wordpress;\r\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'admin_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongPassword';\r\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nexit;<\/pre>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to replace \u2018StrongPassword\u2019 with an actual strong password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-6-Install-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 6: Install WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can now proceed with the actual installation of WordPress.\u00a0 Run the following commands to download and extract the latest WordPress installation files in the default web server document root directory (<strong>\/var\/www\/html<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<pre>cd \/var\/www\/html\r\nwget -c http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.zip\r\nunzip latest.zip\r\nchown -R www-data:www-data wordpress\r\nrm latest.zip<\/pre>\n<p>All the WordPress files will be now placed in the <strong>wordpress<\/strong> directory in <strong>\/var\/www\/html\/wordpress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once the database is created, we will need to add this information to the WordPress configuration file.<\/p>\n<p>First, run the following command to rename the sample configuration file:<\/p>\n<pre>cd \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\r\nmv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<p>Now open the <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file with your favorite text editor, for example:<\/p>\n<pre>nano wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<p>And update the database settings, replacing <strong><em>database_name_here<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>username_here<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>password_here<\/em><\/strong> with your own details:<\/p>\n<pre>\/\/ ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** \/\/\r\n\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\r\ndefine('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\r\ndefine('DB_USER', 'admin_user');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\r\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD', 'StrongPassword');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL hostname *\/\r\ndefine('DB_HOST', 'localhost');\r\n\r\n\/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. *\/\r\ndefine('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');\r\n\r\n\/** The Database Collate type.
