WordPress is open source software you can use to create a beautiful website, blog, or app. It is a Content Management System (CMS) based on PHP works with MySql and MariaDB database and runs on any kind of web server most preferably on Apache or Nginx server.

You can not install wordpress alone on your computer and expect it to work. Wordpress need atleast a web server, php and mysql on your machine. WAMP server and Bitnami wordpress does that job for you. It installs everything for you in just one place.

If you do not want to use WAMP server or BITNAMI for wordpress, then you have to install wordpress and all the required packages separately. In this tutorial I will show you how to install Wordpress on your local machine. Before you start make sure, you have already installed the Apache web server, php, mysql and phpmyadmin on your computer. Though phpmyadmin is completely optional, but it makes mysql database management easier.

If you do not know how to install apache server and php, read below articles.
