I installed xampp for linux. no error has reported on installing and started successfully. but also i cant able to execute my php files. while executing my php files iam getting that php command not found. Did i need to configure any files in xampp to run the xampp package successfully?

iam getting that php command not found.

You are using PHP in the shell?

yes on using shell to execute php files i got php command not found. To execute php files in command shell should i need to install php separately or xampp is enough.

Did i need to configure any files in xampp to run the xampp package successfully?

Learning how to use the Linux shell should be the first step.

i got php command not found

Put "/opt/lampp/bin" in your $PATH, or call php with "/opt/lampp/bin/php".

since Iam new to linux environment. doesn't know all commands. so can you please specify the actual command i should give on terminal to set path to php permanently.
