How to install WordPress in the XAMPP local server environment

I believe that everyone is familiar with WordPress. Before you start to build a blog using a virtual host or VPS host, you may wish to build a local WordPress to familiarize yourself with background operations, and then try again later. Otherwise, the host domain name may have been rented for half a year before it finds that it has not started. To install a Wordpress blog locally, XAMPP is quite popular.

To install a Wordpress blog locally, XAMPP is quite popular and is also one of my favorite programs. How to use XAMPP to build WordPress? a detailed graphic introduction is provided below.

XAMPP installation

1-First, you need to download and install XAMPP. when installing XAMPP, you do not need to pay too much attention to it. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the installation path of XAMPP. please change the path you are familiar, otherwise, as one of my colleagues, the installation path cannot be found after installation (although it is easy to find out ).

2-After XAMPP is installed, it will jump to the XAMPP control panel. at this time, you need to start Apache and MySQL.
