2. Local Host Or
Web Server?
Local host refers to your computer. Installing
Wordpress in Localhost allows you to design,
customize and manage your site locally in your
computer without internet connection.
Use WAMP or XAMPP for Windows, LAMP for
Linux and MAMP for MAC os computers as local
servers.
3. Then, What
is Web
Server?
Web server refers to the internet space
where your site is hosted. Installing
Wordpress in a web server requires
internet connection and you can design,
customize and manage it from any
computer that is connected to the
internet.
4. Is There Any Difference in
Installation Procedure?
Basically there is no any vast difference in
installing Wordpress locally or in web

5. Ok, I Understand. Now What?
Now, we will start learning about how to
install Wordpress locally in your
computer?
First we have to install the local server in
your computer according to your OS
platform. As previously mentioned,
Choose WAMP or XAMPP for windows,
LAMP for Linux and MAMP for Mac os.
6. Lets Assume, We have
WAMP.
Installing Wordpress in WAMP is quite
easier. If you dont have WAMP server
then download it from :-
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
Install it in your computer and Run it.
7. Now, Installing Wordpress.
First you have to download the installation
package from http://wordpress.org.
Now extract the installation package into
the WWW folder inside Wamp in C drive.
Now open any web browser and type
http://localhost in the address bar.
8. Set up The Database.
Wordpress stores data in backend format
(In a Database) So, it requires database
configuration in your server.
Go to PhpMyAdmin in your localhost and
select create a database.
Type anything in the name field, say
Wordpress and click Create.
9. Add a User in A Dabase.
You must add at least one user in your
database to install wordpress.
Select the database that you have just
created and click on the Privilege option in
top right corner.
Select add new user and give any
username and password. Say username =
root and password = pass.
10. Grant Privilege to User.
You have to grant all privilege ( Give
Permissions) to user.
To do so, Click on the Check All option in
the middle of Privilege page and click on
Add New User.
Now you have done. Just note down the
Database Name, User Name and
Password.
11. The Final Step.
Now again type http://localhost in your
web browser and Click on Wordpress in
Your Projects section.
It will ask to create a configuration file.
Click OK.
Now you have to input the database
details in the required fields.
13. Provide your Site Details.
After Database configuration, It will ask
you to provide the details of your site.
Give a Title and Subtitle to your Site,
Choose a username and set the Password
for the new user.
14. Run and Install.
After providing all the correct
informations, just click on Run And Install.
15. Congratulation! You Have Done.
Bravo.
You have Successfully installed Wordpress
in your Computer.
16. Next Step is to Design and
Customize.
After a successful installation you have to
design and customize your newly create
Wordpress site.
There are thousands of free themes that
you can install in your site and customize
them as per your requirements.
You just try to do it yourself. It is very
easy. If not then the Designing and
Customization procedure will be explained
in the next meetup.
