[FIXED] Cannot install LAMP server in UBUNTU

Issue

I am new using Ubuntu. Basically I want to set the LAMP package in order to test PHP locally. So I installed tasksel then I executed in the terminal.

sudo tasksel

Which promps a list of servers I can install. I move the cursor to LAMP Server option, hits enter and returns to the command line. Like if I had pressed EXIT.

What am I missing? Can someone experienced help me install LAMP even if it is on another way? I have Ubuntu 13, by the way. I have been struggling with this for a while now.

Solution

You can try with.

sudo tasksel install lamp-server
