What is Laravel?

Laravel is one of the easiest open-source frameworks for PHP to assimilate. One of its advantages is that it has a much easier learning curve than other web and application development tools. It was created in 2011 and is heavily influenced by frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, and ASP.NET MVC.

With Laravel, we will have available other tools that together make up the power of Laravel.

• Blade: A powerful template manager where we can manage PHP variables directly in the view.
• Eloquent: Laravel’s database system, for writing and retrieving data. So we don’t have to work directly with SQL code.
• Routing: LAravel has its own routing system that helps us to set up the routing of our pages with GET or POST methods.

Besides this, Laravel is one of the best-documented frameworks that exist and with an active community willing to give support to the newbie.

So, let’s get started.

Install Laravel on Debian 11

Installing the Laravel requisites

First, you need to install PHP and some of its modules and the unzip package.

sudo apt install php php-bcmath php-json php-mbstring php-pdo php-tokenizer php-xml php-pear php-zip php-zip unzip

Install PHP Composer on Debian 11

The installation of laravel can be done without problems using PHP Composer. So we have to install it and keep it up to date.

For that, we invite you to read our post about it:

How to install PHP Composer on Debian 11?

Once it is installed and updated, we can follow the procedures.

Install Laravel on Debian 11

Now with the help of Composer, we have to install Laravel. To do this, run the following command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel [project_name]

Where the last value is where you have to specify the name of your project.

So, Composer will start with downloading and installing all Laravel dependencies. When finished, you will see an output screen like this

This will create a folder with the name of your project that we need to access.

cd example

And there will be all our Laravel working and ready for us to start creating code.

If you want to check how the project is running and also if you want to verify the installation, you can run

php artisan serve

Then open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 and you’ll see an image like this

In case Laravel has been installed on a server or another computer over the network, you can specify that it is accessible from another computer.

php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0.0 --port=1234

This way you can access the computer and with the 1234 port you can change these values to your liking.

Conclusion

During this post, you have learned how to install laravel on Debian 11 so you can start developing cool applications that you can take to production. So, this is a powerful framework that you need to take full advantage of.

The post How to install Laravel on Debian 11? appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

What is Composer?

Composer is a project dependency manager for PHP programming. That means that it allows us to manage, i.e. specify, download, and keep up to date, the software packages or dependencies on which our PHP project is based.

The reason for using it is that when you develop a PHP application it requires functionality that is not in the default PHP libraries. That is, you have to add others for your project to work or to be able to be carried out.

So, when you start the project you have to go to the page of each of the software components that you want to use, download them, copy them to the folder of your project. This is a bit torturous because at some point these libraries will be updated and then you have to start this process all over again.

Composer was born to avoid this. Because just by defining the right dependencies, Composer will download them and add them to your project in a matter of seconds. And if they are updated, it only takes a minimal effort or command to update them. All without wasting time and in an orderly fashion.

So, let’s get started.

Install PHP Composer on Debian 11

As we can guess, one of the main requirements is to have PHP installed on the system. This shouldn’t be a problem because PHP is present in the Debian 11 repositories and is quite lightweight.

So, open a terminal and as usual update the distribution.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Then, you can install PHP in case you don’t have it.

sudo apt install php

Note: If you don’t have sudo available then you have to run these commands as root. Also, you can enable it by reading our post about it.

Now to install Composer on the system, you have to run this single command

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

This command downloads and “compiles” the Composer installer for us.

Then install it in a directory that is in our PATH so that we can use it throughout the system. Also, you have to give it run permissions.

sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

Then, verify the installed version by running

composer --version
composer version 2.1.8 2021-09-15 13:55:14

Using PHP Composer on Debian 11

Before using Composer it is always advisable to upgrade to the latest version. This process can be done by running

composer self-update

If you already have the latest stable version, you will get an output screen like this

You are already using the latest available Composer version 2.1.8 (stable channel)

Composer works with a file called composer.json which is where the project dependencies are stored. To add one you can visit packagist to find one you need.

For example, I will add sebastian/comparator with the command

composer require sebastian/comparator

Just like that, Composer recognizes the dependency, downloads it along with its dependencies, and installs them for our project that we just need to use. And so on with each of the dependencies you need.

To update the versions of the dependencies of your project run

composer update

Or you can update a single one

composer update sebastian/comparator

Also, you can update several at once.

To remove a dependency, just run

composer remove sebastian/comparator

So you can use Composer on Debian 11 in a basic but useful way.

Conclusion

In this post, we have covered the installation of PHP Composer on Debian 11 and a small introduction to its particular usage. This tool has become indispensable for many developers so it is not surprising that it is popular.

The post Install PHP Composer on Debian 11 appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache web server, MariaDB, and PHP. Together they can make a computer a functional web server that can run many websites and complex web applications such as WordPress.

So it is a good idea to know how to install this software stack that will serve as a base to install many other applications.

So, let’s get started.

Install LAMP on Debian 11

To start our post, we need to start with a clean install of Debian 11 which is quite easy to install. It is also recommended that you have it updated with these commands.

apt update
apt upgrade

These commands are executed as the root user. But you can also enable sudo on Debian 11. So if you have it enabled just prefix the sudo command with the rest.

With the system upgrade, we can continue the post.

Install Apache and PHP on Debian 11

Apache is an open-source web server that is very popular around the world. On the other hand, PHP is a web programming language that, while not the only one, is one of the most popular and used by all kinds of developers.

The installation of both tools is easy thanks to the fact that they are included in the official Debian 11 repositories. This process is detailed in our post

How to install Apache on Debian 11?

There you can find all the necessary information on how to install both tools.

Install MariaDB on Debian 11

The next step is to install and properly configure MariaDB which will serve as our database manager. MariaDB has many important features but the support that many web applications give to it is one of the main ones.

For example, applications such as WordPress, GLPI, and others support MariaDB, so installing it is vital.

For that, I invite you to read our post

How to install MariaDB on Debian 11?

There you can not only install it but also get it ready for us to start using it.

LAMP on Debian 11 Conclusion

In this post, we have shown you how to install the LAMP stack on Debian 11. To do this, we have relied on our posts where we detail the installation process of each of the components. This does not make the post longer and makes it easier to understand.

The post Install LAMP on Debian 11 appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

What is Apache web server?

The first thing to say is that when we talk about Apache web server, we are talking about httpd because that is what it is really called. What happens is that this project is sponsored and supported by the Apache Foundation that gives it the nickname.

You can also learn about the speed difference regarding Apache VS NGINX.

So, according to the official website of httpd we have the following definition.

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient, and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

So, it is one of the most widely used web servers in the world because it is secure, fast, and easy to administer. As expected, it is also compatible with many programming languages and therefore web applications.

The installation and administration of Apache are possible thanks to the powerful documentation that is available to everyone. I recommend you take a look at it

Install Apache web server on Debian 11

So, connect to your Debian 11 server and if you haven’t updated it, you can do it in the following way:

apt update
apt upgrade

You have to run these commands as the root user. In case you can use sudo then just use it before the commands I will show you

One of the best things about Apache is that we can find it in the official repositories of many distributions including Debian.

So, you can search the repositories as follows:

apt search apache2

And as result, you will see a lot of Apache-related packages.

To install Apache web server on Debian 11, just run the following command:

apt install apache2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap libgdbm-compat4 liblua5.3-0 libperl5.32 mailcap mime-support

Need to get 9,725 kB of archives.
After this operation, 55.6 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

This way, after accepting the installation, it will start. As it is a lightweight web server, the process should not take too long.

Managing the Apache webserver service and testing the installation

By default, upon completion of the Apache installation, the service will be started and enabled. In any case, you can check the status of the service by running:

systemctl status apache2
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Tue 2021-08-17 21:54:55 CEST; 22s ago

As you can see, the service is running correctly. If you want to stop it, run

systemctl stop apache2

And to start it:

systemctl start apache2

When making changes in the Apache configuration or some of its modules, you will have to restart the service to apply them. To do this, run

systemctl restart apache2

Now, we have to verify that the installation was successful and the best way is to use it.

So, the normal thing is that you are using a Firewall in Debian 11, in case you are, then make sure that the ports 80 and 443 are available.

In case you are using UFW then you can do it in the following way:

ufw allow 80
ufw allow 443

Now yes, you can open a web browser and visit http://your-server-ip and see the following screen

This way, the Apache web server is ready to use.

Install PHP with Apache web server on Debian 11

Apache’s utility is to serve websites. If these websites are static, that is, they are not created with a programming language, then there is no need to install anything else.

Realistically, however, the websites include functionality created in a programming language such as PHP. This language is one of the most popular and that is why it is convenient to install it together with Apache.

So, to install PHP and the add-on module with Apache, just run the following command

apt install php php-cli libapache2-mod-php
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libapache2-mod-php7.4 libsodium23 php-common php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-json php7.4-opcache php7.4-readline psmisc
Suggested packages:
  php-pear
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libapache2-mod-php libapache2-mod-php7.4 libsodium23 php php-cli php-common php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-json php7.4-opcache php7.4-readline psmisc
0 upgraded, 13 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 4,490 kB of archives.
After this operation, 19.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

For the Apache webserver to recognize the module that allows it to work with PHP, it is necessary to restart the service.

systemctl restart apache2

And now, Apache and PHP are installed and working perfectly. To check this, create a file with PHP extension in the Apache root directory which is /var/www/html/.

nano /var/www/html/test.php

Inside this file, add some PHP code such as the phpinfo() method.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save the changes and close the editor.

Now try to open it from the web browser http://your-server-ip/test.php

So, the Apache web server is working correctly.

Conclusion

Apache web server is a very popular server whose installation allows novices to explore everything about this world. It can also be used in docker images for application deployment.

Laravel is a PHP framework that offers the possibility of developing applications quickly, agile and with a readable source code. So, many developers use it to make their most popular applications.

In short, this is a nice framework to develop web applications very quickly with a beautiful source code.

So, let’s install Laravel on Fedora 34.

1 Install PHP

Since it is a PHP framework it is obvious that you must install PHP. So let’s go for it.

:~$ sudo dnf install php php-common php-cli php-pdo php-mbstring php-zip php-xml php-cli php-json

2. Install Composer

Composer is a dependencies manager for PHP. So, it is very useful to manage libraries required by our projects and is used to install Laravel.

:~$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Then, make sure that Composer can be used globally in the terminal.

:~$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
:~$ composer -V

Now, you can install Laravel.

5. Install Laravel

It’s time to install Laravel. So, run this command.

:~$ composer global require "laravel/installer"

Once the installation is finished. You can create a new project. But, first, make Laravel executable available for the system.

:~$ echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

Then, close the terminal and open it again. Now, create a project.

:~$ laravel new example

Then, start the Laravel instance.

:~$ php artisan serve

As you can see, the IP address you need to go is 127.0.0.1:8000. Also you can specify a diferent host and port. For example:

:~$ php artisan serve  --host=0.0.0.0 --port=1234

Open your web browser and go to the IP address.

Laravel is correctly installed.

If you want to use MariaDB in a project with Laravel, then you need to edit the .env file located in the project. In it, you must specify database, port, user, and password of the user MariaDB.

Conclusion

As you’ve seen, installing Laravel on Fedora 34 is simple, you just have to have a basic knowledge about LAMP and that’s it.

So, Please share this article with your friends.

What is the LAMP stack?

The LAMP stack is the union of several application components that allow to have a functional web server. With LAMP it is possible to develop and deploy web applications created in PHP.

Installing the LAMP stack on Fedora 34

(L)inux

The first component is Linux. In this case, we are using Fedora as the Linux distribution. Fedora is quite stable for these purposes, but it also serves to host applications as if it were a server.

(A)pache

The second component is the HTTP server. The easiest server to use and also one of the most popular is HTTPD which is the Apache project server. Fortunately, it is found in the official repositories of the distribution, which facilitates the installation.

To do this, open a terminal and execute the following command:

:~$ sudo dnf install httpd

Before you can use the server, you must initialize the service. In other words, you have to start it. To do this, we use systemd to do it.

:~$ sudo systemctl start httpd

If you want the service to start along with the system, then run this command:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable httpd

Now each time the system is started, httpd will be started.

However, Fedora values security very much and will not allow httpd to run if port 80 and 443 are not opened in the firewall. So let’s do it.

$ sudo firewall-cmd zone=public add-service=http permanent
success
$ sudo firewall-cmd reload
success

Now, open your web browser and go to http://your-server or http://localhost depending on where you are installing LAMP. You willl see the following:

That means Apache is functioning perfectly.

Installing LAMP stack on Fedora 34 – (P)hp

Now for web applications to run smoothly, you need to install PHP. PHP is one of the most popular languages for web programming. In fact, the vast majority of web applications are created with PHP. To install it along with its main modules, you have to execute the following command:

:~$ sudo dnf install php php-common php-pecl-apcu php-cli php-pear php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-pgsql php-gd php-mbstring php-xml

Now you have to test that PHP works properly, so you have to create a file with some php code and see if you run it.

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php

And add the following:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If you do not have nano installed, it is better to do it with the following command:

:~$ sudo dnf install nano

For all this to work, you have to restart the server:

:~$ sudo systemctl restart httpd

And then, open it from the web browser. http://your-server/test.php or http://localhost/test.php

This means that PHP and Apache are working correctly.

Installing LAMP stack on Fedora 34 – (M)ariaDB

MariaDB is a MySQL fork. Therefore, we are in the presence of a relational database management system. It is included in most existing Linux distributions. Also, it is perfectly compatible with MySQL and its commands as well as its engines. It is the last component of LAMP.

Keep in mind that MariaDB is used to store the data that applications require as they are being used. That is to say, no transactional system should be executed without a database manager. So it is vital to install it.

To do this, run the following command:

:~$ sudo dnf install mariadb-server

Then, at the end of the installation, start the service as with Httpd.

:~$ sudo systemctl start mariadb

And if you want it to run at system startup, just run this command:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Now, you have to secure the installation with the mysql_secure_installation script. With this script you will be able to define a root password and other small configurations.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

After defining the root password you will be asked other configuration questions. I answered yes to everything.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y 
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

Now, you have the LAMP stack installed in Fedora 34 without problems.

Conclusion

The LAMP stack is a set of vital applications to have a basic and functional web server. It is the basis for most web applications. And it is necessary for the development of applications and to serve them. Each one of the elements of the stack can be installed without problems but its administration would give for many articles. Anyway today you have learned to deploy it in its basic form.

Lighttpd is a “secure, fast, compatible, and very flexible” web server optimized for high-performance environments. It consumes very few resources compared to other web servers and especially fast for running AJAX applications. It is also open source and uses a BSD license and works on UNIX-like systems, such as Linux or BSD.

A server with AlmaLinux as an operating system together with Lighttpd is a guarantee for an efficient and resource-efficient web server.

Install Lighttpd on AlmaLinux / CentOS 8

Installing Lighttpd is very easy to do but there are a few extra configurations to do.

Let’s start by adding the EPEL repository to the system because that is where the lighttpd package is hosted.

sudo dnf install epel-release

Then, you can install the program by running the following command:

sudo dnf install lighttpd

This will install the package immediately.

By default, AlmaLinux does not start the service when a program is installed. Therefore we have to do it.

sudo systemctl start lighttpd

And now make the service start with the system.

sudo systemctl enable lighttpd

Then, you can test the operation of the service with the command

sudo systemctl status lighttpd

Output

● lighttpd.service - Lightning Fast Webserver With Light System Requirements
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lighttpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Also, you can check the installed version with the command:

lighttpd -v
lighttpd/1.4.55 (ssl) - a light and fast webserver

Install PHP on AlmaLinux / CentOS 8

One way to test the performance of the webserver, you have to install PHP and make it work with Lighttpd

sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-pdo php-gd php-mbstring php-fpm php-fpm lighttpd-fastcgi

Now we need to make it work with Lighttpd by editing some configuration files.

sudo nano /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

And modify the group and user values to be lighttpd values.

user = lighttpd
group = lighttpd

In this same file, modify the value of listen to this one

listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

Save the changes and close the file.

Now edit the /etc/php.ini file, which also needs to be modified by one value

sudo nano /etc/php.ini

And edit the cgi.fix_pathinfo value to 1.

cgi.fix_pathinfo=1

Now, make another change to the /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf file and uncomment the following line:

include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"

Save the changes and close the editor.

Finally, we have to edit another configuration file called fastcgi.conf where we have to add the server that will listen for PHP requests.

sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/fastcgi.conf

And add this to the end of the file

fastcgi.server += ( ".php" =>
         ((
                 "host" => "127.0.0.1",
                 "port" => "9000",
                 "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable"
         ))
 )

Again, save the changes and close the editor.

Then, restart the lighttpd service and start and enable php-fpm.

sudo systemctl restart lighttpd
sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm.service

Test Lighttpd and PHP on AlmaLinux / CentOS 8

The best way to know if everything is OK is to create a PHP file and check if it is interpreted.

So, create a PHP file with any valid code such as the phpinfo method in the default root directory.

sudo nano /var/www/lighttpd/info.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save the changes and access it from a web browser, for example http://your-domain/info.php or http://ip-server/info.php.

This checks that everything is working properly.

Conclusion

Lighttpd stands out for being very light in the execution of web applications. So it can serve us for many interesting things in our daily work on a server. Today we have learned to install it on a server with Ubuntu 20.04 and we have also added support for PHP.

According to the project website:

CloudPanel is a free server control panel for PHP, built for the cloud for maximum performance and security.

It is compatible with many of the most popular cloud services such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure but we can also install it on our server without any problem.

Some of the main features of CloudPanel are:

• CloudPanel is free. So, No Contract, hidden costs, limitations, or restrictions.
• A clean and easy-to-use server control panel to get things done in no time.
• Supports more than ten languages.
• Free SSL Certificates for all of your domains, with one-click, automatically renewed.
• Ultra-fast lightweight components like NGINX, PHP-FPM, and MySQL for maximum performance.

So it is a very valid option for projects of all types of sizes.

Install CloudPanel on Debian 10

Despite being so powerful and useful, CloudPanel is only available for Debian 10 and servers with at least 2Gb of RAM and 15 Gb of disk space. Logically, the more capacity the server has, the better.

For this post, you need to have root access.

So, open a terminal or connect to the server via SSH and update the system.

apt update
apt upgrade

Then install some packages needed for the tutorial like curl and wget

apt install curl wget

Fortunately, the installation of Cloud Panel is quite simple to perform and it is all thanks to a script provided by the developers. So, the download and installation of Cloud Panel are basically summarized in this command:

curl -sSL https://installer.cloudpanel.io/ce/v1/install.sh | bash

And there will start the whole process of installing packages, libraries, and dependencies as well as the installation of CloudPanel itself.

At the end, you will see an output screen similar to this one

Now open your web browser and go to https://your-server:8443 and you will see the admin user creation screen.

Then you will see the login screen:

Log in with your credentials and you will see the CloudPanel dashboard.

So, enjoy it

Conclusion

Cloudpanel is a great solution to have a PHP panel where you can deploy an application without several problems. Being free and without restrictions makes it ideal for small or educational projects without economic risk.

Symfony is an entire web development platform that includes a framework:

The leading PHP framework to create websites and web applications. Built on top of the Symfony Components.

One of the main advantages of Symfony is that it has an MIT license, which is the same as a permissive free software license.

On the other hand, it uses the Model – View – Controller pattern that is so widespread among developers. Also, it allows you to create from simple websites to macro projects and complex applications all hand in hand with a huge community of users.

So, let’s get started.

Install Symfony on Ubuntu 20.04

Symfony can be installed via composer or from your installer which is the easiest and most feasible option.

So, open the terminal and upgrade Ubuntu 20.04

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Symfony is a PHP framework, so it requires PHP to work. If you already have a LAMP or LEMP server you do not need this step.

sudo apt install php php-json php-ctype php-curl php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-tokenizer php-tokenizer libpcre3 --no-install-recommends

After this, install GIT, unzip and zip for a successful installation

sudo apt install git zip unzip

After that, download and install the symfony-cli tool

wget https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer -O - | bash

After that, add the Symfony installation path to the PATH user.

export PATH="$HOME/.symfony/bin:$PATH".

And apply the changes by running

source ~/.bashrc

With this, we will be able to use the tool from any location of the prompt.

Now configure the email and user of your user in Git.

git config --global user.email "angelo@osradar.com"
git config --global user.name "Angelo"

Now you can create a new project by running it.

symfony new example --full

Note: You have to replace example with the name of your project.

And now you can start working with your text editor like Visual Studio Code.

To start the local webserver you can run:

cd example
symfony server:start

Remember to replace example with the name of your project.

Now you can go to http://localhost:8000 and check your project.

So, enjoy it.

Prerequisites

• A web server such as Apache, Nginx or Microsoft IIS
• Any of the following databases: MySQL – 5.5.3 (MariaDB 5.5.20, Percona 5.5.8) or higher with an InnoDB-compatible primary storage engine. PostgreSQL – 9.1.2 or higher. SQLite – 3.4.2 or higher

However, all these requirements can be met by using a program like XAMPP. See here how to use and configure it.

Downloading Drupal for Windows 10

This software can be downloaded for free from here. Please download the compressed file in .zip format.

Creating the new database.

Now it is necessary to create the new database. Indeed, this is essential to be able to use Drupal. Consequently, it opens the XAMMP control center. Once there, please click on the MySQL Configure button.

Immediately the database manager will be deployed. Please click on New. Then assign the name you want and finally click on Create.

Decompressing the downloaded file.

Back to the previously downloaded file, it’s time to do two steps. First decompress it and assign a simpler name to the folder. In my case Drupal. Then move it to the next location:

C:\xampp\htdocs

Starting the Drupal installation in Windows 10

Once these previous steps are done, it is time to start the installation of Drupal. With this in mind, open the following address in your web browser.

http://localhost/Drupal 

Please note that this address may vary depending on the name of the assigned folder. The installer will be immediately deployed. First set the preferred language.

Then, the wizard offers the installation mode. Standard, minimum or a sample Demo. For the purposes of this tutorial, I selected the Standard installation

The assistant will then verify the requirements for running Drupal. In this case, my server needs opcache. However, this component is not essential to run the installation. Therefore, we can skip it

In the next screen, please enter the parameters of the database. Please remember to enter the name of the database you just created.

Now wait a few moments while the installation of Drupal

Once the installation is complete, it is time to set up the website. Please set the name and email address of the website. It is also necessary to assign a username and password. This user must also be provided with an email address. In addition to the region parameters.

Finally the installation will be finished!

From now on, you just have to start the server and paste the following web address:

http://localhost/drupal 

This way we have seen how to install Drupal in Windows 10. So you can enjoy this powerful and friendly framework. See you soon!
