The first step is obviously downloading the software from the Internet. This can be done from http://download.moodle.org/ . We recommend you download the latest stable version. Then we must create the database properly. To do this, run mysql from a terminal with the command 
mysql-u root -P
Here are prompted for the password for that user. Once we are in the mysql console, you can create data labase step by step, but is faster to type the following lines (which contain all the steps.)
CREATE DATABASE moodle DEFAULT character SET utf8;
GRANT ALL privileges ON moodle .* TO 'moodleuser' @ 'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH privileges;
quit
After that, we have to copy the folder containing the unzipped Moodle package in the / var / www on your system. (en el caso de que este sea nuestro gestor de ventanas) para conseguir un navegador de archivos con permisos root. Need root privileges, so if we are not, we will have to open a terminal and run sudo su, and then nautilus (in the case that this is our window manager) to get a file browser permissions root. Once done, we move on to the actual installation of Moodle on our server. To do this go to http://localhost/moodle (if the name of our machine is different from localhost we need to change that name). On the following screens will proceed to the configuration of Moodle. The default values are adequate in most typical installations.
After setup, we will config.php code that will be created within the Moodle installation folder, and fill it with code that has gone on display.
Thereafter, and after accepting the license, then proceed to 'setup' of the database. To save time, to click on the tick 'unnatended operation', which will save not going to have to confirm each step. This process can take several minutes. Once this step, the system will ask you to create an Administrator user. Fill it with appropriate data in our case. On the next screen will give a name to our Moodle, and we will have our Moodle working:) The entire process can be seen in this video:

After that, web browser, we access from web browser to our Moodle (by default, http://localhost/moodle ). Login with the account with the Administrator account that we created when you install Moodle. Highlight your link 'Notifications' link in the left column, and the system will tell us that is properly installed. Later, we go to the course where we want to show the block. Click on the button 'Turn editing on' button at the top right corner, and we will in the right column a dropdown with all available blocks. We select our own, and you're finished the process.
