Can I install PHP on my local development machine?

  • 772

I'm looking to install PHP on my desktop Ubuntu installation to be able to develop locally without uploading my files.

What packages would I need to install to do so?

Last time I tried to install packages for a LAMP stack locally it ended up uninstalling gnome-desktop, rendering my machine useless. I'd like to avoid that, hence why this question.

to be clear I don't need an entire LAMP stack locally, I just need to be able to run PHP files.

  1. Try with this command. Note the dash - at the end of the unwanted packages:

    sudo apt install php apache2- apache2-bin- libapache2-mod-php7.4-
