1. Chose a CMS (Content Management System)
I decided on Joomla. Mainly because I Wordpress and ModX didn't fit my needs for a simple website meant for my TaeKwonDo studio.
2. Install Xampp (to create a localhost)
I installed Xampp for linux by downloading it from here[1] and moving it to the suitable directory. once this was complete I had, essentially a mini webserver known as localhost where my site can reside until it is complete.

All that was left was to start Xampp with the terminal command sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start and navigate to http://localhost/JOOMLAFILENAME and run through the install.
