How to Install Ampps on CentOS 8

Part1 install CentOS 8

To install Ampps, I am using CentOS 8, download link here:

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/8/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso

It is about 7.3GB. So you need burn DVD using Double Layer DVD. Google search “Verbatim 8.5GB 8X DVD+R Double Layer Spindle (95310) – 20-Pack” the price is CAD$37.

You may also need “External USB 8X DVD +/-RW Dual Layer Burner” to burn the iso file to the DVD.

Free full version software to burn iso to DVD:

You can also try to create bootable USB drive for installation.

Login to centos as root

Download Ampps 3.9 from https://ampps.com/download

chmod 0755 Ampps-<version>-<arch>.run 
./Ampps-<version>-<arch>.run
In my case :
chmod 0755 Ampps-3.8-x86_64.run
./Ampps-3.8-x86_64.run

You will see the error message:
