Step 1: Install Apache

Apache is a popular web server used to serve web content across the internet. To install Apache on your POP! OS Latest, open your terminal and run the following command:

Step 2: Install PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language used to generate dynamic web pages. To install PHP on your POP! OS Latest server, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt install php

You can verify that PHP has been installed by creating a PHP info file. To do this, create a new file named info.php in your Apache document root.

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

Add the following code to the file:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save and close the file. Then, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://localhost/info.php

If PHP has been installed correctly, you should see a page containing information about your PHP installation.
