Cannot install XAMPP on my Chromebook

I am having a problem with my Acer Chromebook 314. I am trying to install XAMPP for Linux, but it does not work. I tried downloading this by running the command:

sudo apt-get install xampp 

and got an error message:

Unable to locate package `xampp`

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

There is no package named xampp in the Ubuntu repositories, which is why apt cannot locate it.

To install the XAMPP stack, go to and follow the install instructions there.
