How do I get typo3 running

I am a complete newbie in typo3 and I hope someone can find time to guide me to get my installation running. Going through the getting started page, I untarred

typo3_src-7.6.10.tar.gz"

in

/var/www/html

on Linux (Ubuntu). At this step am stuck. I have also created the recommended links in htdocs contained in my rootdocument, which I named "weaconsort". I have even created an empty file "FIRST_INSTALL". Below are contents of htdocs:

FIRST_INSTALL
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13363 Aug 10 19:30 .htaccess
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    19 Aug 10 19:29 index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 Aug 10 19:30 typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    19 Aug 10 19:29 typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-7.6.10

At this point am stuck. How do I launch typo3 to start the configuration? Thanks to comments I have received so far I have made some progress. I am able to open my page in a browser. According to the tpyo3 documentation if I put

http://localhost/mypage/typo3/install

I should be taken through the configuration for the backend. But I do not see any file named install in the typo3 directory. When I put

http://localhost/weaconsort/typo3_src-7.6.10/typo3/sysext/backend/

I see typo3 directories as shown in the picture attached.typo3 directories. My problem still remains- how do I login to the backend?

Sorry to come back on the same issue. After a lot of trying, I do not understand why I cannot get the install tool. From this site

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/InstallationGuide/QuickInstall/TheInstallTool/Index.html

when I enter

http://www.example.com/typo3/install/

I get a short paragraph with the title "Example Domain". I am able to read all my documents with "localhost/domainname/docname", but its more like only on the frontend. The one install file I see in typo3 is in "typo3_src-7.6.10/typo3/sysext/install/Start/" (install.php). When I put this in my web browser I get 

run(); });

I have gone read the installguide over and over, can't figure out what am not doing correctly. Help will be appreciated.

Did you do a composer install in the root of your install? If no composer.json is found there, try to do a composer install in the typo3-folder as this loads the needed dependencies.

You don't have to start anything. If your web server is running, typo3 is running. Now, like Georg Ringer said, you just have to call typo3 to finish the installation.

Since you said that localhost give you a php_info(), then most likely you have to type localhost/html/typo3.

I would have commented but I don't have enough reputation yet.

It seems you are just missing to call the url in your Webbrowser. By guessing this is just localhost in your case
