Did you install XAMPP on your PC? Your PC is now a local
server. Now install WordPress on your local server. Don’t know the process? Don’t
worry. I’m going to give you the instruction.
At first download the latest version of WordPress from wordpress.org.
You will get a .zip file. Now unzip the downloaded WordPress. You will get a
folder named “wordpress”. Just copy this folder.
Now go to the drive where you install XAMPP. Find the folder
“htdocs” in XAMPP. Open it and paste here your copied “wordpress”.
Open your browser. Type localhost/ on your browser’s address
bar. Press Enter. XAMPP for Windows page will open. Click on phpMyAdmin. Then
create a database name. Now type localhost/wordpress on your address bar. Press
Enter. WordPress configure
page will be open. Now click on Create a Configuration File. Now you will get
setup configuration page. Click on Let’s go button. In the next page you have
to fill up a form of five option. Firs one is database name. Use the database
name you’ve created. Second one is username, use root as username. Third one is
password, keep blank this option. The last two options are Database host and
Table prefix. They are filled localhost and wp_ by default.
After completing that, click on Submit. Now installer page
will open. Click on Run the installer. Now you will see welcome page. Write down
site title, dashboard username, password, email. Click on Install WordPress.
