If you have the typical apache/mysql/php stack installed on your machine Joomla is pretty easy to install.

install apache/mysql/php if you haven't already
create a database for it in mysql
extract the joomla zip file to your web-root folder (often /var/www/html)
fire up a web browser to 'http://localhost' assuming you're running it on your own machine.
follow the prompts.

For any of the above that isn't obvious Google is your friend :)

I just bought a joomla book and so now need to d/l the program (couldn't beat the price.... it was a dollar). I'm looking at a tutorial for doing that and it says to install the LAMP stack first. The tutorial for installing it is .... uhhh..... I don't like it. Is there an easy way to install it?
