How to install Joomla 2.5.3 on Ubuntu 11.10 Part 4
Download and extract Joomla package
Now that our system is ready to host a cms like Joomla we can go to Joomla official site and download joomla. There are more than one packages that you can download in this tutorial i use the one with the ending tar.bz2. you can find that under the "Download other Joomla 2.5.x packages" in this website "http://www.joomla.org/download.html". when you download this with firefox you can find that file in you local folders /home/(your_account_name)/Downloads/
Ok now we have to copy and extract that file in /var/www/ folder. this folder is the default apache folder. to do that open a terminal and type:
cd /home/(your_account_name)/Downloads/
you should see the downloaded joomla package in this folder if you type:
ls
now we have to copy that file in the apache default folder. so type:
sudo cp (the name of joomla package including the ending tar.bz2) /var/www
if all was ok you can now find this file also in /var/www/ directory
lets check that out. type:
cd /var/www/
ls
you should be able to see the joomla package and also another file index.html.
ok now we will extract this file here by typing:
sudo tar -jxvf (the name of joomla package including the ending tar.bz2)
next thing to do is to delete the default apache page by typing
sudo rm index.html
