BitNami Joomla! Stack is an all-in-one installer that makes easy to install Joomla on your computer. It is free, easy to use and self-contained. That means that it bundles and automatically configures every piece of software (dependency) necessary to run Joomla for development or production purposes, including Apache HTTP Server, MySQL and PHP.

You can download the latest version of BitNami Joomla! stack for Windows, Linux and OS X at http://bitnami.org/stack/joomla.

NOTE: BitNami Joomla! stack no longer exists as a standalone installer. Instead, it delivers as: 1) A cloud based instance, 2) In a container, either Kubernetes or Docker or 3) A virtual machine. The virtual machine will run on your operating system in a hypervisor such as Virtual Box or VMware Player. It still comes with all the required dependences as in the standalone installer.

Option 1 below no longer applies. Also, in Option 2, BitNami Lamp Stack further down, delivers in the cloud or virtual machine. In any case, Bitnami makes having a performing local installation of Joomla! easy and complete.
