XAMPP for Linux

[Jax12]

Hello,

I try to install XAMPP for Linux in Ubuntu (Using Virtual Machine) but I cannot install it since there is this error message:

There has been an error
This installer requires root previleges. Please become superuser before executing the installer.

I already check the previlege, it is administrator. Therefore, it suppose to work, but it doesn't. Why is it?

hi,

administrator is not a very often used word on Linux.
did you follow the xampp installation instruction to run the installer as superuser?

Code: Select all

sudo ./xampp-linux-*-installer.run

Why is it?

You did not sudo the installer as told in the FAQ (which you did not read obviously)
