Ironically, installing WordPress is very easy, and doesn\u2019t require any coding skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it can be overwhelming at the first attempt &#8211; that\u2019s normal. It was, after all, for most of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we will be running you through a detailed WordPress installation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you learn how to install WordPress on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Locally on your computer<\/li><li>On your online domain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you will get to learn how to move a website you installed locally on your machine online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Install WordPress Locally on Your Computer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times you will want to install WordPress locally on your computer. Yes, doing so means that no one but you &#8211; and anyone that has access to your computer &#8211; will see the website. That is to say, your website will be offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why would you want to install WordPress on your machine if no one will see it? There are a lot of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, if you are just starting out with WordPress and don\u2019t have a budget for <a href=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wordpress-hosting\/\">hosting<\/a> and domain name, installing locally will make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, if you want to build a custom WordPress website from scratch using <a href=\"https:\/\/designmodo.com\/\">drag-and-drop website builders<\/a> instead of a theme, doing so online is impractical. As such, your best bet is to build offline, test and tweak, and then deploy the finished design online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you might want to test a new <a href=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/free-wordpress-plugins\/\">plugin<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/free-wordpress-themes\/\">theme<\/a> on your website. Doing so on your live website is risky: your website might experience glitches, or, worse, crash. You sure don\u2019t want that, do you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all that said, here are the steps to installing WordPress on your computer (Windows).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Download and Install XAMPP on Your Computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress requires a PHP environment, plus a database solution to work. Unfortunately, your computer doesn\u2019t provide any of them. Thus, prompting the need for XAMPP. This is a free software that provides all that is needed to run WordPress locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do bear in mind that XAMPP isn\u2019t the only solution you can use; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wampserver.com\/en\/\">Wamp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/localwp.com\/\">Local by Flywheel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vagrantup.com\/\">Vagrant<\/a>, will all work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We chose XAMPP because it is very popular and fairly easy to use. Alright, enough of the belaboring &#8211; let\u2019s get into details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, head over to XAMPP\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apachefriends.org\/download.html\">official website<\/a> to download the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1262\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image20.png\" alt=\"How to Install WordPress, Detailed Installation Tutorial\" class=\"wp-image-3485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image20.png 1262w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image20-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image20-1024x477.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image20-768x358.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1262px) 100vw, 1262px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve downloaded the software, install it right away on your machine. If you run into difficulties during the installation process, XAMPP has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apachefriends.org\/faq_windows.html\">helpful resource<\/a> you might want to consult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you must have completed the installation process, launch Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP dashboard by clicking their <strong><em>Start <\/em><\/strong>button like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1053\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image16.png\" alt=\"Download and Install XAMPP on Your Computer\" class=\"wp-image-3486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image16.png 1053w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image16-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image16-1024x449.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image16-768x337.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1053px) 100vw, 1053px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To know if you correctly launched Apache and MySQL, their buttons should change to <strong><em>Stop, <\/em><\/strong>and a green light will overlay them like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1181\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image2.png\" alt=\"Apache and MySQL\" class=\"wp-image-3492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image2.png 1181w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image2-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image2-1024x456.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image2-768x342.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Download WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have XAMPP up and running, the next step &#8211; which is the easiest of all &#8211; is to download the latest version of WordPress by heading over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/\">official download website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downloaded file will be zipped. If it is not, you apparently did something wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Install WordPress on Your Computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To install WordPress on your machine, first, open your hard drive like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1056\" height=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image8.png\" alt=\"Install WordPress on Your Computer\" class=\"wp-image-3488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image8.png 1056w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image8-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image8-1024x298.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image8-768x223.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1056px) 100vw, 1056px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have opened it, locate the <strong><em>xampp <\/em><\/strong>folder, open it, find the subfolder named <strong><em>htdocs, <\/em><\/strong>and open it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1051\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image25.png\" alt=\"xampp\" class=\"wp-image-3489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image25.png 1051w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image25-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image25-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image25-768x264.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1051px) 100vw, 1051px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, create a subfolder in the htdocs folder, name it whatever you want. This is the name that you will use to access the website you are about to create locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this example, we used <strong><em>localwebsite <\/em><\/strong>as the name for ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"973\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image17.png\" alt=\"localwebsite\" class=\"wp-image-3490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image17.png 973w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image17-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image17-768x276.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 973px) 100vw, 973px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With that settled, head over to your download folder &#8211; or whatever folder you kept the zipped WordPress file you had earlier downloaded. Remember?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t downloaded it yet, head back to step #2 and do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve located the zipped file, open it. In it, you will find a subfolder named <strong><em>wordpress<\/em><\/strong>. Open this subfolder as well. Select all files and folders by hitting the <strong><em>Ctrl + A <\/em><\/strong>buttons. Then copy all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now head back to the WordPress installation folder you had earlier created, paste the files you copied into it like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"942\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image5.png\" alt=\"WordPress installation folder\" class=\"wp-image-3491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image5.png 942w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image5-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image5-768x394.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, you are ready to create a database on which your new WordPress website will run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Create Your Website\u2019s Database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like we earlier mentioned, WordPress needs a database to work &#8211; locally or online. Thus, creating a database is an important step in the WordPress installation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do so, head back to XAMPP, click the <strong><em>Admin <\/em><\/strong>button relative to <strong><em>MySQL <\/em><\/strong>like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image11-1024x469.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image11-1024x469.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image11-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image11-768x352.png 768w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image11.png 1146w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Clicking this button will launch the <strong><em>phpMyAdmin <\/em><\/strong>page on your browser. This is where you get to create a database for your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, click the <strong><em>Databases <\/em><\/strong>button, then enter a name you want for the database you are about to create. This name can be anything &#8211; only ensure you note it down because you will need it later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, we chose the name \u201clocaldatabase\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After inputting a name, hit the <strong><em>create <\/em><\/strong>button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1307\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image3.png\" alt=\"phpMyAdmin\" class=\"wp-image-3494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image3.png 1307w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image3-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image3-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image3-768x240.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1307px) 100vw, 1307px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With your database ready, the next step now is to set up WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do so, open a new tab in your browser, and in it type in the following URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>localhost\/localwebsite<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: we used \u201clocalwebsite\u201d because that is what we called our WordPress installation folder. That means if you called yours something else, use it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"869\" height=\"109\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image14.png\" alt=\"localhost\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image14.png 869w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image14-300x38.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image14-768x96.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done that, hit the <strong>Enter <\/strong>key.

Not to worry, we will get to that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Install WordPress Online via cPanel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pressed for time and want to get your website online as soon as possible, running WordPress installation locally won\u2019t make much sense. As such, the best course of action is to install it directly on your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before doing that, your hosting and domain name needs to be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that caveat out of the way, here are the steps to installing WordPress via cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Log Into Your cPanel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first: log into your cPanel. Not sure how to do that? Let\u2019s show you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, there is no single way to do that, as this depends on your hosting provider. But the standard way to do this is by appending \u201c<strong><em>:2083<\/em><\/strong>\u201d to your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>www.mywebsite.com:2083<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have your cPanel login credentials, use them. But if you don\u2019t, reach out to your hosting provider for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Locate WordPress Auto-installer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once logged into your cPanel, look for the WordPress auto-installer icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1084\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image21.png\" alt=\"How to Install WordPress Online via cPanel\" class=\"wp-image-3505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image21.png 1084w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image21-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image21-1024x423.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image21-768x317.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1084px) 100vw, 1084px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, depending on your cPanel\u2019s interface, the WordPress installer might be located elsewhere. So bear that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, click on the icon. You will then be redirected to the Softaculous app page. There, click the <strong><em>Install <\/em><\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1226\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image7.png\" alt=\"Softaculous app page\" class=\"wp-image-3506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image7.png 1226w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image7-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image7-1024x293.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image7-768x220.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1226px) 100vw, 1226px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, choose your installation URL, set a name for your new website, note down your admin login username and password, scroll down a little, and hit the <strong><em>Install <\/em><\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1035\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image9.png\" alt=\"Install button\" class=\"wp-image-3507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image9.png 1035w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image9-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image9-1024x602.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image9-768x451.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1035px) 100vw, 1035px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You are done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To log into your dashboard, you can either follow the administrative URL in the cPanel or, as we told you earlier, append <strong><em>wp-login.php <\/em><\/strong>with a forward slash to your domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: <em>www.mynewwebsite.com\/wp-login.php<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Move Your Locally Installed WordPress Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We promised to show you how to move your locally installed website online, didn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time we made good that promise, so here are the steps to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install All-in-One WP Migration Plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need some sort of migration plugin to get this job done. While there are lots of plugins you can use, we will be using <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/all-in-one-wp-migration\/\">All-in-One WP Migration<\/a> because it is simple to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/manage-plugins\/\">Download and install<\/a> the plugin both on your local website and the one you have online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, log back into your local website, navigate to <strong><em>All-in-One WP Migration &gt;&gt; Export<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1342\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image1.png\" alt=\"How to Move Your Locally Installed WordPress Online\" class=\"wp-image-3508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image1.png 1342w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image1-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image1-1024x421.png 1024w, https:\/\/strictthemes.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image1-768x316.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1342px) 100vw, 1342px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose <strong><em>Export to File<\/em><\/strong>, and download afterward<strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong> The exported file will be saved on your computer, in the downloads folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that step completed, you are ready to import the exported file into your website online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Login to your WordPress online installation, open the All-in-One migration plugin again, but this time select <strong><em>Import <\/em><\/strong>from file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locate the file you had earlier exported, select it, and the importation process will start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the import has completed, you will be notified that your website\u2019s media, database, and plugins are about to be overwritten.
