XAMPP is a free and open source cross-platform web server solution stack package developed by Apache Friends, It’s a simple and lightweight solution that allows you to create a local web server for testing purposes consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.
The XAMPP file is 109MB. Once downloaded, launch the installer.
During the install process, you may receive warnings such as Windows asking you if you’re sure you want to install the software and the installer prompting you about antivirus software. As you would when installing any software on Windows, use your best judgment, but you probably want to click “Yes” to continue with the install.
The XAMPP setup wizard will guide you through the installation. Click Next.

It’s up to you which components you want to install. Since we want to run WordPress in our localhost environment, leave MySQL and phpMyAdmin checked and uncheck the remaining options.
Choose the options you want to install.
Next, select the folder where you would like to install XAMPP on your machine. I’m going to create a new folder in C:\Program Files\XAMPP.
Enter the path where you would like to install XAMPP.
In the next window, you’ll be asked whether you would like to install Bitnami for XAMPP, which offers free tools for installing WordPress, Drupal and Joomla! on top of XAMPP.
Since we’re going to install WordPress manually later in this turorial and don’t need free installers, untick “Learn more about Bitnami for XAMPP” and click Next.
We don’t want to install any free installers.
After going through all those initial installation steps, XAMPP is now finally ready to install. Click Next.
Almost there…
Once installed, you’ll be asked whether you would like to start the XAMPP Control Panel, which provides an interface for running your localhost environment. Leave this option ticked and click Finish.
The installation process is quick and painless, though it’s not uncommon for Windows to throw up warnings every now and then.
The Control Panel will automatically open, but if you unchecked the option in the prevous window, you can go to the XAMPP folder on you computer and open XAMPP Control Panel instead.
If the installation process went well and everything is running smoothly, the control panel will open with Look Like that..
