Installing WordPress Locally [Video]

You can install WordPress locally on your computer if you’re traveling or planning to be offline and you still want to work with WordPress.

I also embedded this video in a WordPress wiki that I’m developing.

Installing WordPress locally involves about 6 steps:

1. Download and install Wampserver.
2. Create a database in phpmyadmin.
3. Add a user with privileges to the database.
4. Download WordPress and extract to a folder in the www directory.
5. Customize the wp-config-sample.php file.
6. Run the WordPress install script at wp-admin/install.php.
