We need to install LAMP . (See the LAMP installation)

Download the file from their website

sudo wget https://github.com/opencart/opencart/archive/2.0.1.1.zip

mv opencart.*  /var/www/opencart
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/opencart/

chmod 777 /var/www/opencart/

mysql -u root -p (Enter your mysql password)

CREATE DATABASE opencart;
CREATE USER opencart IDENTIFIED BY 'opencartadmin';
GRANT ALL ON opencart.* TO opencartadmin;
exit

Go to the browser and click upload the installation starts .


You must get the following errors!!


We need to install below methods to overcome this errors.

Install php Curl:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl php5-gd

To be writable we need rename to below names :

root@ubuntu:/var/www/opencart/upload# mv config-dist.php config.php

root@ubuntu:/var/www/opencart/upload/admin# mv config-dist.php config.php

Warning: mCrypt extension needs to be loaded for OpenCart to work! 
#php -m (view mcrypt module is installed)

#sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

#sudo php5enmod mcrypt

#sudo service apache2 restart 

Now see everything fine
