WAMP is an acronym that stands for Windows Apache MySQL PHP. It is also often referred to as web-stack because the each part "stacks" on top of the previous one to create a complete system. The linux equivalent is a LAMP stack (yes, you guessed right! it stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP).

A good practice is to install the stack on a virtual machine (if your system has enough resources) to keep things clean and separate. Google for "LAMP" and you'll find quite a few alternatives (from bitnami and turnkey to name a few). Of course there is nothing stopping you from installing directly on your active OS.

Once you have a web stack installed, you will also need the client development libraries for mysql which are available through Ubuntu repositories. These have to be installed on your development machine in order to be available to your build tools.
