How do I install Bitnami Wordpress after downloading it?
I was a Windows User, and installing the Wordpress installer on Xampp is easy, just double click the installer and next until finished.

The Bitnami Wordpress Linux Installer is pretty much plug-and-play (depending on how you do it).
If you're installing from your bare OS, all you need to do is grab the install runfile from the download site and then do the following:
- Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T
- Type
cd Downloadsand hit Enter. - Find the filename for the install file (at the time of writing,
bitnami-wordpress-4.7.3-0-linux-x64-installer.run). For all steps below, I will be assuming the filename isbitnami-wordpress.run. Change this accordingly. Run the following command to start the install process:
chmod +x bitnami-wordpress.run && ./bitnami-wordpress.runIf the installer asks for root permission, run the following command instead (if needed):
sudo ./bitnami-wordpress.run
Alternatively, I would personally recommend you use the Docker setup for Bitnami Wordpress. How to is much simpler:
- Install Docker and Docker Compose, and run
sudo apt install curl. - Make a folder or similar to store the config file for Bitnami Wordpress. I personally would recommend
Bitnami-WPin your home folder. cdto the folder where you want the configs to go.Run these commands:
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-wordpress/master/docker-compose.yml docker-compose up
Whenever you are done, just cd back to wherever the compose file exists, and run docker-compose down to shut down the install.

Just rename your downloaded file to something easy like bitnami.run, once you have done this, open the terminal on your computer and type:
cd Downloads
and press enter, once that is done, look for your Wordpress download and type
sudo ./bitnami.run
once that is done, you will be asked to put your password
enter your password and press enter
once that is done, your Wordpress installation will begin.
.runextension? Open a terminal andcdto theDownloadsfile. Then dochmod +x [filename.run]to make it executable. Finally, run the file by entering[filename.run]. (Replace [filename.run] with the actual name of the file.)
