This guide is no longer accurate and doesn't install. there are no
php5 packages in ubuntu 16.04 only php7 which is compatible but
doing these steps does not bring joomla up.

So I was able to get it to install, the problem is with the PHP
packages. after you install 'LAMP' you have to install php7.0-xml.
Following the rest of the directions then joomla proceeds to work.
however if you don't install LAMP and do the packages manually
Joomla still doesn't work. So I'm not sure what is missing with the
manual install of php7.0 but it works when LAMP was installed vs
manually installing all the packages.

Also noticed you need to install php-mcrypt as well through apt. At
the end of Joomlas set up it will tell you.
