I am writing this post because even having a lot of knowledge over installation of wordpress manually is there on the net but many of us even do not find a full tutorial as my college juniors ask me how to install wordpess locally so that we can make modification and make extra changes without a fear that by changing this will cause down of the website online.

mainly if you are not a adroit web developer you are not able to make changes online without any fear and if something goes wrong which can cause loss of trafic to you. so making changes on home computer and after the changes have made good result then uploading them online is often a good practice.

you do not need nay knowledge of server or database to do that thing only a software known as WAMP will do all that.

wamp stands for

W-windows

A-apache

M-mysql

S-server
