"Firstly the Linux equivalent of WAMP is LAMP (though its more accurate the other way :) ) Unlike in windows most server software in Linux doesn't have GUIs by default; this is true for LAMP. To install make sure you have tasksel installed. at a terminal run:
sudo apt-get install tasksel Once complete then run sudo tasksel install lamp-server.
This will create the folder www in /var/, so you should see it in /var/www this will be your web root. (For 14.04 and above, it would /var/www/html.)
You can now unzip wordpress into that folder. Once complete, in a web browser go to localhost/wordpress (In your URL using Firefox/Chrome for example type localhost/wordpress, this will lead you to your wordpress installer) and follow the instructions there. If you want a GUI for database management I've always used phpmyadmin. To install it run:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin then in a browser go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin (As mentioned above, use the URL in your browser to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin)
Note that if you're running this server remotely then replace localhost with the remote IP you can have access to."
