Step 1. Open terminal and download XAMPP 1.8.3 package.

And click “Next”

Click Next again. Wait for the installation:

When finished, this will be the last window:

When you checked “launch XAMPP” before clicking finish A page will open in your browser,  If the page does not open automatically, go into your browser’s address and type http://localhost/xampp

To stop the XAMPP service:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

To start the XAMPP service:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

To open the page of XAMPP, whenever you want, type in the address bar of your browser: http://localhost/xampp/

Basic Configuration

If you want XAMPP to start automatically when you restart your system, add a command line in “rc.local” file. Run:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

The file is opened for editing. And where was this:

#! /bin/ bash
# 
# rc.local 
# 
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. 
# Make sure que the script will "exit 0" on success or any other 
# value on error. 
# 
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution 
# bits. 
# 
# By default this script does nothing.
/opt/lampp/lampp start
exit 0

I added a line just before the “exit 0.” Save and close the file. When you restart your system, the command that was added runs and starts XAMPP. . Note: if anyone knows a more “correct” way to autostart XAMPP, please comment Lastly.
If you have to set passwords XAMPP. To do this, run:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp security

Questions on various passwords will be made. Would be appreciated define what Restart XAMPP:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

Or simply use the graphical interface of the program to start and stop the web server

How to install Browsersync?

1. 1. Install Node.js

   Browsersync is a module for Node.js, a platform for fast network applications. There are convenientinstallers for MacOS, Windows and Linux.

2. 2. Install Browsersync

   The Node.js package manager (npm) is used to install Browsersync from a repository. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

   npm install -g browser-sync

   You’re telling the package manager to download the Browsersync files and install them globally so they’re available to all your projects.

3. 3. Start Browsersync

   A basic use is to watch all CSS files in the css directory and update connected browsers if a change occurs. Navigate your terminal window to a project and run the appropriate command:

   Static sites

   If you’re only using .html files, you’ll need to use the server mode. Browsersync will start a mini-server and provide a URL to view your site.

   browser-sync start --server --files "css/*.css"

   Dynamic sites

   If you’re already running a local server with PHP or similar, you’ll need to use the proxy mode. Browsersync will wrap your vhost with a proxy URL to view your site.

   browser-sync start --proxy "myproject.dev" --files "css/*.css"
