Created page with "You can run WordPress on your personal computer or laptop using localhost. == Discussion == None of the files in the WordPress folder have any meaning to a web brows..."

New page

You can run [[WordPress]] on your personal computer or laptop using [[localhost]].

== Discussion ==

None of the files in the WordPress folder have any meaning to a web browser. Most of the WordPress files are PHP files, which cannot be browsed directly.

WordPress requires a web server to function. You can then browse the web server, to see the "served up" web pages.

== LAMP ==

Install a [[LAMP (software bundle)]] on your computer:

All LAMP bundles do essentially the same thing. Popular bundles include:

* [[MAMP]]
* [[XAMPP]]
* [[AMPSS]]

== localhost ==

When you have your LAMP bundle installed, start the program and browse to:

* http://localhost

Depending on your LAMP bundle, you may need to use a port number in the URL:

* http://localhost
