A simple bash script to install lamp-stack (Apache, Mysql and PHP) on your Linux Debian based system

lampStack.sh

#!/bin/bash

echo ".....Let's Install Lamp Stack (Apache, MySql and PHP)....."

echo "Installing in progress step 1 of 4"
echo "Updating the repo..."
sudo apt -y update 
clear
echo "Installing in progress step 2 of 4"
sudo apt install -y apache2
clear
echo "Adjusting Firewall"
sudo ufw allow in "Apache Full"
sudo ufw reload
clear
echo "Allowing apache to start on boot up"
# Allow to run Apache on boot up
sudo systemctl enable apache2
clear
echo "Installing in progress step 3 of 4"
echo "Installing MySql"
sudo apt install -y mysql-server
clear
echo "Installing in progress step 4 of 4"

# Allow Read/Write for Owner
sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/
clear
# Create info.php for testing php processing
sudo echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/html/info.php
clear
# Open localhost in the default browser
xdg-open "http://localhost"
xdg-open "http://localhost/info.php"
clear
echo "All Done"	
echo "You can secure your mysql by entering following command"
echo "sudo mysql_secure_installation"
echo "Bye"
exit
