1. Update the system & clone the Repository
   Download the script to your system or clone the repository:

   apt update && apt upgrade
   
   git clone https://github.com/eugeniogiusti/wordpress-ubuntu-install.git
   
   cd wordpress-ubuntu-install
   
   

2. Grant Execution Permissions Give the script executable permissions:

   chmod +x wordpress-ubuntu-install.sh
   
   

3. Run the Script & Switch to the root user if you don't want to enter the password during the process:

   sudo su
   ./wordpress-ubuntu-install.sh
   

4. After the script completes, visit your local IP address to finish the WordPress setup.

• The WordPress database name, user, and password are set in the script. Modify them as needed.
• The Apache VirtualHost is configured with example.com. Replace it with your domain.

• This script is intended for fresh Ubuntu 22.04 installations.

• During the installation of some libraries, you might see a message like: Daemons using outdated libraries. Which services should be restarted?(screenshoot below)"

This message indicates that some libraries have been updated, but the daemons using them are still running with the previous version loaded in memory. It is not necessary to restart the services immediately, as the system will continue to function normally with the old libraries. To proceed:

1. Press the TAB key to select "OK" and confirm.
2. Continue with the installation without restarting the services. If you encounter any issues or instability later, try restarting the virtual machine to ensure the services use the latest versions of the libraries.

Enjoy your Wordpress
