Xampp on linux mint

im trying to install xampp on "new" linux mint machine.

However im quite a noob to linux since i havnt used it for that long.

When i try to run the file that ive download from the following page:

Xampp download

i get the following error two errors:

Could not display "/home/marc/Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run".

and if i click yes

    Installing mime type handlers isn't supported

To search and install software which can open certain file types you have to install app-install-data.

can anyone tell me what the problem is and how i might fix it?

what you can do is that you can use the chmod +x /your folder location/.run file that you want to install after that you can run following command ./and your .run file name example:- in my case :- User@user~$su root it will ask for password so give it User@user~chmod +x /Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run User@user~./xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run

you need to execute the file (e.g. open a terminal, navigate to your Downloads folder and run bash xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run (possibly it might need to be run otherwise, but thats my best guess)).

alternatively you might be presented to run/execute the file (instead of displaying it). if so, choose this option.

on the other hand, you might consider installing apache/php/mysql via your package manager.
