In this tutorial, you will learn how to install WordPress on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing WordPress on your Clear Linux Latest, you need to update your system packages.
sudo swupd update
Next, you need to install the required packages for WordPress installation.
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic php-mysql mysql
The above command installs PHP, MySQL, and other necessary packages required for WordPress installation.
You can download WordPress from the official website or use the following command to download WordPress.
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
After downloading WordPress, extract it using the following command.
tar -xzf latest.tar.gz
Next, you need to create a database for WordPress. Run the following command to log in to the MySQL console.

Once you are logged in, create a new database and grant privilege to the user.
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
CREATE USER 'wp-user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wp-user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Make sure to replace the wp-user and password with your desired values.
Copy the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
cp wordpress/wp-config-sample.php wordpress/wp-config.php
Edit the wp-config.php file to add your database details.
define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' );
define( 'DB_USER', 'wp-user' );
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'password' );
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
Replace the database name, username, password, and host according to your setup.
Move the WordPress files to the document root directory.
sudo mv wordpress /var/www/html/
Set appropriate permissions for the WordPress directory.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
