Install a Local Server: Start by installing a local server software like XAMPP, WampServer, or Local by Flywheel. These tools create a local server environment on your computer to run WordPress.

Download WordPress: Go to the official WordPress website and download the latest version of WordPress.

Create a Database: Open your local server software and create a new database for your WordPress installation. Note down the database name, username, and password you set up.

Install WordPress:

For XAMPP/WampServer:
Navigate to the folder where your local server is installed (e.g., "htdocs" for XAMPP).
Create a new folder for your WordPress site (e.g., "mywordpress").
Extract the WordPress files you downloaded into this folder.
For Local by Flywheel:
Open Local and click on the "+ Add Site" button.
Choose a name for your site and select a local environment.
Under "Advanced Options," enter the database details you set up earlier.
Click on "Add Site" to create the site with WordPress.
Configure WordPress:

Open your web browser and enter the URL of your local site (e.g., http://localhost/mywordpress).
Select your language and proceed to the WordPress installation page.
Enter the database details (database name, username, password, and database host) you set up earlier.
Complete the installation by providing a site title, username, password, and email.
Access Your Local WordPress Site:

Once the installation is complete, you can access your local WordPress site by entering the URL in your browser.
