Well, a great tutoral. I ha *ve fo* llowed it and it was flawless save for one section. I was copying and pasting the text from your description to my server. On this line:

sudo apt install -y php-gd php-json php-mysql php-curl php-mbstring php-intl
php-imagick php-xml php-zip php-sqlite3

It installed all the php modules listed on the first line. Noe of the second line was installed and I didn't catch it till later. I would modify the line and add a \ to the end of the first line. Another great addition to this tutorial would be how to resolve the items left in the administrative overview.

Don't get me wrong, it is a GREAT tutorial and you done an awesome job.

Thank you for sharing!

You know you don't need Putty on Windows 10 right? You can use PowerShell and connect to the server just like you do with Terminal on Linux. "username"@"IP-number to the server"
