I was moving a Laravel project to a ubuntu virtual machine.
Steps that I followed:

1. Installed Xampp

By following this blog i was successfully xampp running on my machine. Thanks to the auther Rajesh Kumar

2. Another thing which is required is Composer

3. Now the thing is when we try to install Laravel project inside our htdocs folder it through an error

4. To resolve this error first create a folder inside your htdocs.

mkdir Projects

5 grant read and write permissions to this folder by running this commands

sude chmod +rw Projects

6. You may get another error while installing is (“mbstring” extension is missing.)

Run the below commands to resolve these errors

sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo su - root

7. That’s it now try installing your project again

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel testProject "5.8.*"

That’s it, Hope it help someone out there.
