How To Install Wordpress

Hello guys today am going to be teaching you how to install wordpress on your pc. If you want to build a website wordpress is one solution for you to achieve such purpose.

Now I'm just going to go straight to the steps by step guide how how to install a wordpress on your Pc.

1.   Donwload WampServer

First thing is to download a wampserver, you need wampserver to be abble to install wordpress on your Pc. You can get wamp server here for free. Once the download is completed run the file to install.

The wampserver website

The WampServer site offers two versions of the software – 32 BITS or 64 BITS. Click on the version you prefer.

A warning message will display. Click on “download directly,” and you’ll be taken to the SourceForge website. The download will automatically start in 5 seconds.

A green WampServer icon means your servers are running.

The color of the WampServer icon allows you to quickly determine the status of your servers.

1.     If the icon is red, the server isn’t running and is offline. You may need to restart WampServer or check out the WampServer forums for more help.

2.     If it is orange, the server is partially running, i.e. Apache may be running and the MySQL service is offline. Click on the WampServer icon and check the service status next to Apache and MySQL to see if they are running. You may need to restart WampServer, and if it still doesn’t work, check out the WampServer forums.

3.     If the icon is green, it means the server is running and you should be able to access localhost from your browser.

To test it, go to “localhost” in your browser.

2. Setting Up Your MySQL Database

Before we install WordPress, we need a database.

Click on the WampServer icon in your system tray and then click on phpMyAdmin.

Let’s create a new database for your WordPress install.

A new browser window will automatically open with the phpMyAdmin interface.

Click “phpMyAdmin” or go to “localhost/phpmyadmin” in your browser.

Click on “Databases” near the top-left and you’ll be prompted to create a new database. I’ve called mine “WP”.

When you’ve entered a name, click “Create” and close the window.

Quickly and easily set up a new MySQL database for WordPress.

3. Download and Install WordPress

Download the latest version of WordPress.

In order to get WordPress working with WampServer you need to unzip WordPress to the right folder. Extract WordPress to the C:/wamp/www/ folder.

You can rename the WordPress folder whatever you like. I’m going to keep it as “wordpress.”

Extract the latest version of WordPress to the “www “folder in “wamp.”

Next, open your WordPress folder, find the wp-config-sample.php file and rename it wp-config.php. Open the file and scroll down until you see the following lines:

Update your wp-config.php file with your database details.

These lines of code define the login details for your database. Replace “database_name_here” with the name of your database, which in my case is “WP.”

Replace “username_here” with “root” and leave “password_here” blank.

Save the file and close it.

Now we can get on with installing WordPress.

Open your browser and go to http://localhost/wordpress/

You should see the welcome screen for the famous five minute WordPress installation process.

Enter your details and click “Install WordPress.”

Your WordPress installation is now complete!
