How to Install WordPress on Your Computer
You will be surprised to know that WordPress could be installed on your computer or PC. But, you need windows for that.
Any Windows could be fine. For a good performance, you should use a high processor. If you do n't have good processor than it may crash your PC.
How to Install WordPress on Windows with WAMP.
First I will be guiding you on How to Install WordPress On Windows Computer With WAMP Server.
Why Install WordPress on PC?
Most of the developers want to try different plugins, themes and changes in the controlled environment. This environment is called localhost.
It's good to test something before sending it to your audience. All the testing and developers used this method before sending out their data for their audience.
If you Install WordPress on your PC then it could be seen by you only. If you need to know How to Install WordPress so others can also see your stuff than I have explained above.
What is WAMP?
WAMP is a combination of windows, Apache web server, MySQL and PHP. It's a localhost. There are many others but I recommend using WAMP as I am using the same one.
How to Install WAMP?
As like another Software you have download WAMP and then have to install it. You may choose 32 bit or 62 bit. It's all upon requirements.
After installation, it will open into Internet Explorer. You can change it into Google Chrome. If it will start it can be seen in the right under the corner.
Setting Up a Database for WordPress:
You have to create a new MySQL database for Installing WordPress. Click on the WAMP Server icon and search for phyMyAdmin. Click on it and you will be directed to a new page.
By default, the Username is root, and you can leave the password field blank.
When you have logged in. Click on the database to create a new database.
Choose any database name and click on create a database.
Installing WordPress on Windows with WAMP:
You have to download a copy of WordPress.
You can download it by visiting wordpress.org .
Then you have to go the WAMP root folder.
Most of the time for 64-bit windows it is installed here : C:\wamp64
Extract the WordPress files from the zip format and paste those file to C:\wamp64\www. You can rename the WordPress to any name whatever you want. I have n't renamed it.
Then go to http://localhost/wordpress. click on the Create a Configuration File button. Let's Go.
On the next screen, you have to fill your database name, password and username. The default UserName is root. and leave the password blank.
Click on submit button and you're done. Click on the run the installation.
Follow the same procedure that I have earlier described for other installation after that. Like filling site name, site description and password.
Run the WordPress with the given link: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
Enjoy. WordPress has been installed on your Computer.
How to Install a WordPress Multisite
Again this is for the advanced users. If you really do n't know about Hosting, wp-config.php file and .htaccess file than stay away from this.
Why multisite?
When a person wants to work with a single WordPress installation but with different directories or sub-domain than this comes in handy. As the person does n't have to log in and log out from different directories.
It'll be time-consuming.
Activate WordPress Multisite:
Install WordPress with any of the above tutorials.
Open your wp-config.php file which you can easily find out in the root directory.
paste these lines after the <? PHP
define ('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);You are all set to the multisite.
Go to your website that may be xyz.com. Log in with your username and password. Go to tools and here you will find "Network Setup".
Setting Up Your Network:
You have to follow the instructions after that. The needed changes to be done in the wp-config.php file and .htaccess file.
Now you are done. refresh your browser and you will find that here you can choose any sub-domain or directory in which you can install WordPress.
You can install different themes and different plugins on different websites.
How to Install WordPress in Your Language
Default WordPress is in US language. But, there is a good news for you guys as you can install WordPress in your own language.
You have done some changes in the wp-config.php file that you can find in the root directory of public_html folder.
just add this
define('WPLANG','fr_FR');
Just replace this fr_FR with your language and you're done.
