Istogrami Web design: How to Local Install WordPress on your Computer

There is a option to install WordPress on your own computer for learning and testing, plus you no need domain name and web hosting. Working with WordPress for Windows is a great way to test plugins, updates, and other website changes before pushing them live to your audience.

Though, this tutorial is about installing WordPress locally on WAMP, but let me clear you few basic points about WordPress. WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool , a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it's probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.

To use WordPress Localy you must have a server (WAMP, XAMP) installed on your machine for its working environment. Without a server you won’t be able to install WordPress. The server you will install, it should support PHP and MySQL requirements. Installing WordPress is quite easy and simple, so I suggest you to be patient. In this post, I have used WAMP software (supports PHP and MySQL) for installing WordPress. You can use any web server of your choice to install WordPress.

Download WAMP Server

WordPress needs a web server (which could be anyone, for e.g. WAMP software for installing WordPress) to work on so first you need to download and install a software called WAMP (which has prebuilt localhost server) on your machine.
