So how to install WordPress on your machine or your local computer? Today, I will show you how to install WordPress on your computer/machine.

Download WordPress

Before installing WordPress, you need a server, install a server Xampp OR Wamp on your machine.
Start your server; I am using Xampp.

Now create a new database named new_wordpress from the PHPMyAdmin section. Just go to your URL and type localhost/PHPMyAdmin.

I have installed my Xampp server in C:/ drive, so go to your Xampp/htdocs to extract your WordPress setup, which you downloaded from wordpress.org; if you want to change your folder name from WordPress to anything, you can change it, but I am not changing.

Note: If you change your folder name from WordPress to dummy OR any name, type that name after localhost/foldername

Now open your browser and type localhost/foldername in this case. I am typing localhost/WordPress; select your language, and click Continue.

Set your database connection give you database new_wordpress, username: root and password: empty OR username: root and password: "it's my default setting when you install your server.
Note: If you want your domain to install WordPress, i.e., www.xyz.com, set your database username and password.

Now click on the button Run the install.

Set your website's basic setting. I am setting dummy as username and password dummy, click on the button install WordPress.

Login with username and password

It is your dashboard; now click on visit site to visit your website, which you just created using WordPress.
