title: Xampp on linux mint
body: <p>im trying to install xampp on "new" linux mint machine.</p>
  
  <p>However im quite a noob to linux since i havnt used it for that long.</p>
  
  <p>When i try to run the file that ive download from the following page: </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html" rel="nofollow">Xampp download</a></p>
  
  <p>i get the following error two errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not display "/home/marc/Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run".
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and if i click yes</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Installing mime type handlers isn't supported
  
  To search and install software which can open certain file types you have to install app-install-data.
  </code></pre>
