Does Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS download come with a Server & PHP & MySQL?

[fran_3]

- I want to setup a linux machine for local website database development.
- I just downloaded Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.
- Before I install it a few questions.

1 - Does it come with a GUI desktop?
2 - Does it come with a server, PHP, and MySQL?
3 - Before I install it it run from a flash drive?

I'm trying to avoid a bunch of additional downloads and dependency issues.

After I finish the data base site I will upload it to a GoDaddy Linux Server or other Linux Server and go live.

Thanks for any help.

1 - Does it come with a GUI desktop?

Ubuntu Desktop comes with a desktop. Ubuntu Server does not.
Check which one you downloaded.

2 - Does it come with a server, PHP, and MySQL?

You add those after install. Not sure what you mean by "a server". If you mean a webserver, you add it after install.

3 - Before I install it it run from a flash drive?

Yes, if you wish. It's a handy way to test that all your hardware is compatible.

There are quite a few sites which explain the process to do so such as at the links below with the second link being the simplest:
