Install Drupal 6
Ok, I'm a freaking newbie, so, how to install drupal on your machine when using LAMP?
You can use the previous post to install all the required services to get drupal running, but after that, you should follow this easy steps:
1) Download the files from the drupal.org site, I guess this link will work
2) Unzip the files on a folder, I renamed that folder as "Drupal6", you can use the "Extract here" option when you press the right button over the file, but also with the command: $tar -zxf drupal611.tar.gz
3) Then, copy the file to the location where you have Apache installed, usually just copyy the folder to /var/www/ by using the following command: $sudo cp -R Desktop/drupal6 /var/www /Desktop/drupal6
4) Done!! haha, that was really easy!!
Once you "installed" drupal you can go straight to the following lullabot tutorial to learn how to configure each of your drupal sites.
