Install packages

Run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git curl imagemagick libmagickwand-dev nodejs redis-server libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libgmp-dev

If you get package errors, you may need to add "universe" to /etc/apt/sources.list after the entry for trusty-updates.

Install the database

Skip this step if you already have one.

See the Ubuntu server guide.
