LAMP is a bundle of software consisting of four open source programs.

It is one of the most popular software categories for servers.

A usual LAMP server includes:

• Linux (operating system)

• Apache (web server)

• MySQL, MariaDB or MongoDB (database software)

• PHP, Perl, or Python (programming language)

Most Linux distributions include the components of a LAMP server.

There are also some other variants of LAMP, such WAMP, which runs on Windows

instead of Linux.
