websites and blogs.Now the next step is to install apache server
by using this command.

# apt-get install apache2

6. 3. Install MySQL
Skype : tanuj.chughwww.cloudminister.com
MySQL is a software used to create databases, stores and get data
when requested. MySQL is used by wordpress to store database of
its users.
Now the next step is to install MYSQL and link it with PHP.
# apt-get install mysql-server php7.0-mysql
One dialog box is prompted for MySQL password, give the root
password.
Now complete the MYSQL installation,

7. # mysql_secure_installation
Here, we have to configure the basic details of MYSQL and it asked for
password, enter the MYSQL password.
Would you like to setup validate password plugin? N (Use to setup password
policy)
Change the root password? N
Remove anonymous users? Y
Disallow root login remotely? Y
Remove test database and access to it? Y
Reload privilege tables now? Y

8. 4.Install PHP
Joomla requires all the components of LAMP and the last PHP 7.0 to be installed.

# apt-get install php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-xml
php7.0-curl php7.0-json php7.0-cgi
Check that php is installed correctly or not, For that remove default file from
/var/www/html directory i.e. index.html and create new file i.e. info.php.
# cd /var/www/html
# nano info.php
And enter the sample code in info.php file,
<?php

9. phpinfo();
?>
Restart the apache server.
#systemctl restart apache2
After that open any browser and give IP i.ehttp://ip_address_server/
and here check the default page for php.
Now remove the index.php file,
# rm /var/www/html/index.html

10. 5. Install Joomla File
Once the configuration of LAMP stack is completed, now go proceed with installing Joomla file.
Go inside the html folder
# cd /var/www/html
And download the latest version of Joomla CMS from internet,
#wgethttps://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla3/3-7-5/Joomla_3-7.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip
Now install unzip to be able to unzip the downloaded archive.
# apt-get install unzip
Now unzip the downloaded Joomla archive.
#unzip Joomla_3-7.5-Stable-Full_Package.zip
After that set the appropriate file permissions,
# chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/html
#chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

11. 6. Creating a Joomla Database in MYSQL
Before proceeding with the installation of Joomla we have to create Database for Joomla in
MySQL console.
# mysql -u root -p
Enter the password of MySQL and after that create a new database for Joomla
mysql>CREATE DATABASE Joomla;
Now create a new user and grant all privileges to the Joomla database.
mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on Joomla.* to
‘username’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;
mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
After that exit the MySQL console.
mysql>exit

12. 7. Test Joomla
Now after all the configuration done successfully, Restart the apache web server.
# Systemctl restart apache2
After the server is restarted go in any browser and typehttp://ip_address/
And then the installation page is open here i.ehttp://ip_address/instalation/
Now configure the basic details. And after the administrator prompt is open. Launch
the website in its control panel and refresh the URL.
CONCLUSION:
After the above installation, you will be able to use Joomal
CMS to manage your website content in your VPS server.
