[How To Guide] Install WordPress On Desktop PC Using WampServer

At WebGuide4U, I have talked a lot about self hosted WordPress and thought that many of you like me (my earlier days) are unfamiliar with WordPress. To make you familiar with WordPress I have come up with this tutorial so that you can test WordPress locally on your PC. So, here is a quick guide which guides you completely on Installing WordPress Locally on your PC.

Step1: First follow this link and download WampServer on your PC.

Step2: As soon as download finishes, click on .exe file and run installation of Wamp Server as shown below (it is a simple software installation, like you install other softwares on your PC – If you have any query let me know via contact form).

Step3: Download WordPress from official site and unzip it. After unzipping the WordPress download, copy WordPress folder and paste the WordPress folder in C:\wamp\www

Step4: If everything works fine (unless you have any problem in installing wamp server), you see a icon in your taskbar as shown below:

Step4: Now open this URL in your browser http://localhost

Step5: Click on “phpmyadmin” (as shown below)
