So installing XAMPP server in Ubuntu is straight forward.All we need to do is to follow few steps.
first of all download xampp from https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

it will be downloaded to your ubuntu in to the Downloads folder.
Now go to the desktop and right click with mouse.And select option “Open in terminal”

type “ls” and hit Enter key, You should see list of folders in terminal as given below

    Desktop  Documents  Downloads  Music  Pictures  Public  Templates  Videos

Now change directory to Downloads by

     cd Downloads

This command will take you in Downloads directory where we have our XAMPP installer downloaded.
So here we can run command to run XAMPP installer.

Run below given command in terminal

In below command installer name is : xampp-linux-x64-7.3.5-1-installer.run ,When you run this command make sure installer name and version matches with your command

     chmod 755 installer name
     

     chmod 755 xampp-linux-x64-7.3.5-1-installer.run //this command will correct the permissions of installer

   ls -l xampp-linux-x64-7.3.5-1-installer.run

-rwxr output shows that the file can be executed.

SO finally we can run installer using this command

      sudo ./installer name 

      //In this example installer name is "xampp-linux-x64-7.3.5-1-installer.run"

      sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-7.3.5-1-installer.run

It will ask the password if you have any. And then the installer will launch.From here just install xampp installer normally.
