openedx installation on Linux | openedx installation on Ubuntu

Easy way :
1. Download the installer (.run file)

https://bitnami.com/stack/edx/installer

2. Make it executable.

chmod a+x filename.run

3. Run the installer.

./filename.run

Hard way:
Install using bash script. Why it is hard because it is gonna give many errors, you need to fix them one by one and start installing again and again until it is installed completely.

Hardest way:
Install each package separately like these guides are suggesting. Similar guides you can find for centos and fedora.

I would suggest you to install on virtual machine like docker, vagrant or vmware instead of start installing on your system.

Install XAMPP using command line on Linux

Install XAMPP using command line on Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, RHEL

If you are installing xampp first time on your linux system then it is fine but if you have installed it before and there is directory lampp in your /opt. You should rename it first.

# mv /opt/lampp /opt/lampp_old

Now download xampp installer from here.

A file xampp-linux-version-number-installer.run will be downloaded.

Suppose it is in directory Downloads.

Make the file executable.

# chmod a+x ~/Downloads/xampp-linux-version-number-installer.run

Now run the file.

# cd ~/Downloads
# ./xampp-linux-version-number-installer.run

It will open the wizard, now complete it to install xampp.

 

 

 

 

Now when you click on finish button, XAMPP's GUI interface will be appeared.

Now you can start/stop Apache & mysql using UI interface. Click on 'Manage servers' and you will be able to start/stop servers using buttons.

Open xampp in Browser

http://localhost/xampp

Open XAMPP control panel / GUI interface

Run following command in terminal

# cd /opt/lampp && sudo ./manager-linux.run
