CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
CREATE USER 'wp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wp_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
  1. Download the latest version of WordPress from the official website: https://wordpress.org/download/
  2. Extract the downloaded file and move it to the Apache document root directory: /var/www/html/
  3. Change the ownership and permissions of the WordPress directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress
