After extracting rename the directory as follows.

linuxhelp Downloads # ls

linuxhelp Downloads # mv typo3_src-9.1.0 typo3

we have to move the typo3 directory into the /var/www directory:

linuxhelp Downloads # mv typo3 /var/www/

Next, you need to change ownership and permission of the Directory.

linuxhelp Downloads # cd /var/www/
linuxhelp www # ls
html  typo3
linuxhelp www # chown -R www-data:www-data typo3/

Now create an empty named as first_install.

composer.json  CONTRIBUTING.md  index.php   LICENSE.txt  typo3   _web.config
composer.lock  _.htaccess       INSTALL.md  README.md    vendor

memory_limit = 256M

max_execution_time = 240

Next, we have to configure a virtual host for typo3 CMS so navigate to the site available location and create an empty file named as typo3.conf.

linuxhelp typo3 # cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
linuxhelp sites-available # vim typo3.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file.

< VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/typo3/
< Directory /var/www/typo3/> 
AllowOverride All
allow from all
