This document provides instructions for installing and configuring LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) on Fedora Linux to develop PHP web applications. It discusses prerequisites like the Linux directory structure and Bash shell. The key steps are compiling and installing MySQL, Apache, and PHP, then configuring them to work together. The goal is to explain how to set up a local development environment for PHP web apps on Fedora Linux.
