How to install Drupal 8.3

Few prerequisites are considered to get Drupal installed by the following tutorial,
  1. Ubuntu 14.04
  2. MySQL
  3. PHP 
Assuming http://localhost points to /var/www/html.

Download Drupal 8.3

Download the latest Drupal package from https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/8.3.1. Find the zip file at Downloads. Extract the zip content and rename it to, let's say test. Move the test folder to /var/www/html from Downloads to make a folder structure as /var/www/html/test.

Navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin to create database. Create one as test.

Access http://localhost/test to start installation prcedures. 

Language
 
Choose the language from the first window to proceed further. By default it will be English. You can add as many as languages as Drupal 8 support multi-language

Profile

Chose Standard as the profile.   

Requirements

If you've no proper files and permissions for the website, it will throw two errors at the requirements page.

   
The first error indicates sites/default/files doesn't exist. To erect the issue, navigate the sites/default folder and give 755 permission. 

 
 
Reload the requirements page and the first error is vanished

For the second error, there is no settings.php. To meet this let us make a copy of default.setttings.php in sites/default. And rename it to settings.php. Once it is done, refresh the requirements page. It will let you move further.

Configure Database

Enter the database name, user-name and password created for the website. Click on to proceed.

Configure Site

To complete the Drupal installation, enter the values you find to be relevant for the application that are asked for. The usual values asked for are, Site name, Site email, User name, Password etc. 
  
Installation has completed and will show the front page of the website.

  
Hope this helps. 
:)
