- Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Apache/2.4.9, PHP 5.5.15RC1, git 2.0.2, MySQL 5.5.41-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 / easy /
There is the Famous 5-Minute Install instruction so these are just my personal notes if I have to install other instances on a similar environment.

WordPress devs have decided on, what I consider as outdated, SVN, however they have been kind to put up a GitHub repo. This makes it easier to pull or merge latest updates even though the update is supposed to be much simpler.

Set up the database
I'm connecting to the local database.
