I want to install PHP, MySql and Apache2. I have downloaded them to my Downloads directory. How do I install them. There is no package for them that I can find.
How do I login as root from a terminal? So I can configure, make and make install them.

I do a lot of things from the terminal window, or I have in the past. Like coding html, and running Linux commands.
I have been using Ubuntu since 04 - thought I would try something else. Have also used other distros since 95 just use to a terminal.
Thanks I just missed it!

How do I open a terminal, and install new software?
I would like to install Apache2, MySql, and PHP
