Couple of updates

[treestonemedia]

After trying countless times on my own, your step by step worked like a charm - well almost.

1. It was missing a PHP extension - had to run apt-get install php7.0-bcmath
2. The permissions kept on throwing errors - I had to run chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ multiple times

This step by step got me to the end goal much quicker and much more efficiently than other times we tried on our own - thanks for the neat guide.

A few things I would add

1. Explanation to setup a user other than root
2. Explanation to run through mysql_secure_installation
3. Option for installing without sample data (just a different file)

And finally - this would be a pure bonus, but if we could get the same model using composer or git install.

Thank you again!
