Hello,

I have a VPS / VDS I want to install a website on it for the first time, and I don't know what I have to install on it to make sure that my website and some other things will work without problems, is there someone who help can tell me the commands that I have to give in the ssh to install all The things needed to run a website without any problems at all, I don't know many things about how it all works, so please if you have something to say, I hope you can explain your point well!

My OS is Linux - Ubuntu 18.4 LTS

Usually just "apt install php" will get you the MOST common basic ones. Other useful ones that I regularly need are, php-mysql, php-curl php-mstring, php-zip, php-xml, php-bz2
