 ====== Installing NextCloud 27.0.0 on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS ======
-Here if the Example installation contained in the NextCloud Documentation at:
+Here is the "Example installation" contained in the NextCloud Documentation at:
 https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/example_ubuntu.html?highlight=data%20directory
+Example installation on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+You can use .deb packages to install the required and recommended modules for a typical Nextcloud installation, using Apache and MariaDB (or MySql), by issuing the following commands in a terminal:
+<code>
+sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
+sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php php-gd php-mysql \
+php-curl php-mbstring php-intl php-gmp php-bcmath php-xml php-imagick php-zip
+</code>
+This installs the packages for the Nextcloud core system. If you are planning on running additional apps, keep in mind that they might require additional packages. See prerequisites_label for details.
+Now you need to create a database user and the database itself by using the MySQL command line interface. The database tables will be created by Nextcloud when you login for the first time.
+To start the MySQL command line mode use the following command:
+<code>
+sudo mysql
+</code>
+Then a MariaDB [root]> prompt will appear (or MySql [root]> prompt will appear depending on which Db server is installed). Now enter the following lines, replacing username and password with appropriate values, and confirm them with the Enter key:
+<code>
+CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
+CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS nextcloud CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nextcloud.* TO 'username'@'localhost';
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+</code>
+You can quit the prompt by entering:
+<code>
+quit;
+</code>
+Now download the archive of the latest Nextcloud version:
+Go to the Nextcloud Download Page.
+Go to Download Nextcloud Server > Download > Archive file for server owners and download either the tar.bz2 or .zip archive.
+This downloads a file named nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2 or nextcloud-x.y.z.zip (where x.y.z is the version number).
+Download its corresponding checksum file, e.g. nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.md5, or nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.sha256.
+Verify the MD5 or SHA256 sum:
+<code>
+md5sum -c nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.md5 < nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
+sha256sum -c nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.sha256 < nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
+md5sum  -c nextcloud-x.y.z.zip.md5 < nextcloud-x.y.z.zip
+sha256sum  -c nextcloud-x.y.z.zip.sha256 < nextcloud-x.y.z.zip
+</code>
+You may also verify the PGP signature:
+<code>
+wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.asc
+wget https://nextcloud.com/nextcloud.asc
+gpg --import nextcloud.asc
+gpg --verify nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2.asc nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
+</code>
+Now you can extract the archive contents. Run the appropriate unpacking command for your archive type:
+<code>
+tar -xjvf nextcloud-x.y.z.tar.bz2
+unzip nextcloud-x.y.z.zip
+</code>
+This unpacks to a single nextcloud directory. Copy the Nextcloud directory to its final destination. When you are running the Apache HTTP server you may safely install Nextcloud in your Apache document root:
+<code>
+sudo cp -r nextcloud /var/www
+</code>
+COMMENT:  AT THIS POINT WE SHOULD SAVE A STEP BY UNPACKING THE NEXTCLOUD FOLDER AND ITS CONTENTS DIRECTLY TO THE APACHE2 DOCUMENT ROOT.  LET'S FIGURE OUT THAT COMMAND LINE INSTRUCTION.
+Finally, change the ownership of your Nextcloud directories to your HTTP user:
+<code>
+sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud
+</code>
+On other HTTP servers it is recommended to install Nextcloud outside of the document root.
+Next steps
+After installing the prerequisites and extracting the nextcloud directory, you should follow the instructions for Apache configuration at Apache Web server configuration https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#apache-configuration-label .
+Once Apache is installed, you can optionally follow the Installation on Linux guide https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html from Pretty URLs https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#pretty-urls-label until Other Web servers https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#other-http-servers-label
