Installing PHP and Additional Extensions

#apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql -y

Download wordpress files on /var/www/html or /var/www/ folder depend on the Operating System (Deb 8, Deb 7)

#cd /var/www/html
#apt install curl
#apt install wget
#curl -O https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
#wget --no-check-certificate http://wordpress.org/latest.zip

Extract the wordpress files in the /var/www/html directory:

#tar xzvf latest.tar.gz
#unzip latest.zip

Move all extracted folder files to /var/www/html/

#cd /var/www/html/
#mv * /var/www/html/wordpress/* /var/www/html/
#rm -rf /var/www/html/wordpress/

Create UPGRADE and UPLOADS directory so that WordPress won’t run into permissions issues when trying to do this on its own following an update and uploads to its software:

#mkdir -p /var/www/html/wp-content/upgrade
#mkdir -p /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads

Set the user, group ownership and permissions for the directory:

#chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

Next we will run two find commands to set the correct permissions on the WordPress directories and files

#find /var/www/html/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
#find /var/www/html/ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
