Hi Guys, I'm Subhang from Websitelearners.com

 

Today, I'll be showing you how you can install WordPress,

 

Locally on your computer

 

Now, Why would you want to Install WordPress locally?

 

Normally, if want to build a wordpress site, you would

 

need to buy domain and hosting,

 

and then launch your live website

 

But if you don't want to launch a website yet, and

 

just want to try and test wordpress,

 

you can do that by watching this video

 

Okay! So, when you install wordpress locally

 

all your website's files will be stored on your computer,

 

and this means

 

only you will be able to access your website

 

Now, this is a great way for you to learn making your website

 

for free of cost

 

And, once you've build your wordpress site locally, you can

 

then move it to a live website

 

I'll show you, how you can do that

So keep watching

 

And now, let's install wordpress locally!

 

Okay!

 

It is going to be totally free

 

and we're going to do it in just  simple steps!

 

First, we're going to download a software called

 

'bitnami wordpress'

 

Now, this is the software which is going to allow us

 

to run wordpress on our computer

 

So to download it,

 

let's go to our browser

 

And, then search for 'bitnami wordpress'

 

and press enter

 

Now, click the first link

 

And then download bitnami, by clicking here

 

And clicking this link

 

Okay!

 

So the bitnami software is downloaded!

 

Now, let's go to step , which is to install this software

 

So let's open the file we've downloaded

 

And, click 'Ok'

 

Now keep clicking 'next'

 

till you reach this page

 

Okay! So this is the page, where we need to enter

 

the login details of our local wordpress site

 

So enter your name

 

email address

 

and then the username and the password for wordpress

 

make sure you remember these details as you'll be needing this

 

to login into your local wordpress site

 

Once you're done,

 

keep clicking next

 

And wordpress will be installed

 

Now let's click finish!

 

And it will take you to this page

 

So, wordpress is now installed on our computer

 

Now to access your site, you just have to click

 

'access wordpress'

 

So let's click that

 

And as you can see, our wordpress site is

 

now running on our PC!

 

Okay!

 

You can access your site anytime by going to

 

"localhost/wordpress" on your browser

 

Now if you want to login to wordpress,

 

you just add "/login"

 

And, it will take you to the login page of wordpress

 

You can now login, by entering the details

 

that you gave during the installation

 

So, once you've logged in, you can start building your website

 

So this is how you can

 

Install wordpress locally on your PC

 

and start building your website
