Bitnami is an open source project that produces open source installers installers or software packages for web applications. Bitnami is sponsored by Bitrock a company founded in 2003 in Seville, Spain by Daniel Lopez Ridruejo. Bitnami stacks are used for installing software on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

Technology Overview

BitNami stacks are available for popular web applications such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, and MediaWiki. In addition to the CMS itself, the stacks include the building blocks of a complete Web server. For example, a WordPress stack will not only have WordPress but also the MySQL database to manage data, Apache Web server to serve the pages, and phpMyAdmin to administer MySQL. Bitnami installers are released under the Apache License 2.0.

The distinct difference between installation of Bitnami installers and native installs(e.g. rpms and debs on Linux) are that they are installed in a way as to prevent interference with existing software and libraries. If multiple applications are installed on the same web server considerations for resolving conflicts on specific ports must be made.
