okay
so for this tutorial i'm going to show
you how to
install wordpress on your local server
uh by local so i mean
on your laptop on your system uh so
we are building on the local server
before it goes live so basically
what you're doing is that you're going
to build
this website and see how it looks
and showing that your links are properly
uh
functioning the way you want them and
you know what your images are proper and
basically
building your website before you host it
live
uh before it goes online so that's what
i'm gonna show you what you need to do
to get that right so first thing you
want to do
is download two basic uh softwares
the first thing you want to download
would be XAMP
uh apache uh so basically what jump is
it's
uh like your php environment
it's like where the wordpress files with
the
you know uh uh host hosted basically
locally
where you have all your database you
know hosted
so we're gonna download some so whatever
system things you're using if you're
using
say um a windows you download some for
windows series
and linux you download jump for linux if
you're using
ios you download for ios so
i've already downloaded some you know so
go download some
then the next thing you want to download
would be wordpress so
uh download wordpress you go to
wordpress.org and download wordpress is
the same if you're using
uh uh ios or windows system or linux so
you just download wordpress
the latest wordpress is wordpress 5.5
uh for example i didn't mention that
the website you have to go to will be
apachefriends.org
but don't worry i'm going to provide you
all of the links under this
uh below this video so you see all of
the links where you download
all this software so you download jump
or
wampa oh mom sorry some people download
jump
and ma or map but for this tutorial i'm
gonna make use of this up
uh so i'm gonna share with you the links
that do
all of that so when you have that
downloaded you go
to install your zamp
uh i always advise that you install your
xampp
on your c drive
so you go to your c drive if you
you download and pick your language
select your language
english obviously and then uh
to finish the window will pop up uh so
you're gonna have a folder here named
when you're done with your installation
so basically the when you're done this
window pop up uh what you need to do is
to start
your apache and your mysql basically
they are the first two
options here uh you're gonna start it
i've already started my
apache and bioscore just the first two
options you see
started so basically means when you
start it means your machine
or your local host is up and running the
next thing you want to do
is to go to your browser and
type in localhost so when you're
typing local
host when you type that you enter
it will bring you here you and you're
here
the next you want to do is go to my php
admin like the last option the last menu
on this window
so when we are the php admin we are
clicking patreon we want to open
uh where we now create uh
a database for our wordpress
installation it's taken a bit of time
but
let's wait for it all right so when you
click on my php admin you will come to
this
panel just look by your
uh left hand side you see the first
option creates
are basically new uh you know click on
new
but if yours is a fresh installation uh
i think it's gonna be the best
basically the same thing but just go to
database if you have a fresh
installation go to database now
the database you're creating the name
you're gonna use
on this database remember write it down
somewhere
okay so um i'm gonna name this database
church
c-h-u-r-c-h that's church
so this name i'm using for the database
will be
the same name i'm gonna also use for the
wordpress
folder so when i install my wordpress
in my exam the folder i'm gonna name the
wordpress
would also be church because i named my
database
church so it should correspond right
okay so you create
the name in your creates you click on
create so database
charge has been created all right
so we are done with that the next thing
you want to do is go to
your local disk
c that's where we install our example
remember
so you go to your exam folder here
open it up and come to the way
you see htdocs let me show you this just
so you know
um right
so you go to your local disk
c drive or wherever it is you've
installed your exam
then you go to a folder called htdocs
right htdocs then you go to your
wordpress folder so i'm going to show
you that
so here h docs here
double click it then you look for
remember the same name you had named
your database
should also be the same for the
wordpress folder
right so i've named my test so i'm going
to change that
to what to church
because that's the same name i'd use for
my database so i'm going to name this
church
all right so when you are you've created
a folder called church
in your damp hd docs
then you install your wordpress so i
believe you have downloaded your
wordpress
so what you need to do it usually comes
you know in a zip file
so unzip it in
a folder where you have
your exam so you're going to create a
folder as i said and
that's where you unzip your wordpress
files
into so when you unzip that wordpress
file
remember to always delete the original
file of the word present so uh
that you you know um
extracted open up the wordpress folder
then extract the file and paste it
in the folder all right so the next
thing you want to do
is go to your browser and type
localhost forward slash search
remember the folder and the database
i named church so whatever it is your
name just
just type on your browser localhost
forward slash whatever it is you are
named
your wordpress installation folder
uh named whatever it is your name the
database
in my case it's localhost for slash
church so whatever it is you named that
folder where you extracted your
wordpress
and that's database
that's what you're gonna uh for slash
after localhost
right okay so when you've done that
give it a bit of time um
you'll come to this window so when
you're here
it means everything is working fine
if you have issues
it's going to give you error you won't
get this so once you get to this point
where you see this wordpress logo
means your dumb machine is working
properly
you know means your example is working
fine
all right means your installations
of wordpress files it's correct means
your database
was properly named rather it's properly
named
right okay so you click
let's go so we are starting installation
properly
okay so when you're here
you see you'll be directed to this
window where you have
database name username password
database host table prefix so for here
what you want to do
you see by default it shows database
name wordpress so but we're going to
change that
remember what when you named your
database when you created
your database in uh
my php admin so remember the database
you created
initially that's the name you're gonna
enter
here you know uh so you're gonna delete
the
wordpress that came by default see
for me right so whatever it is you're
named your database
correspond with your wordpress
folder where you uh extracted your
wordpress so the same here that that
database name should correspond
with your database name that you enter
initially
right all right
let's wait for it okay then for user
name
username always leave username as
what roots username should always be
roots right r
double o t root therefore the password
delete what you have their password and
leave it blank
right password should be left blank
username
just use roots as a username
right your username should always be
what root
then password should be blocked leave
the password open don't put anything in
the password
database host of course is localhost
that's the example that you installed
and then table preface leave it as wp
on this call right so when you've done
that
you're good to go then click submit
so remember your database name should
correspond
with the database you created initially
and then the username should be root
then the password should be left blank
don't put any password the database host
should be localhost
uh that's where you have your exam and
the table prefix
should just be left wp
on the score as wordpress
on the score so let's wait for it my
system is a bit slow
let's wait for it for the next step
let's wait for the next step
okay so basically what's happening is
all of your wordpress files are properly
installing
in your local host in your example
so you're going to design your website
here on your
laptop or on your system
without having to go online
so so you're going to run the all rights
bank here
you made it through the part of
installation wordpress can now
communicate with your database
if you are ready time now
to run installation so with mission
it's a simple process so click run
installation
let's wait for read for installation to
run
it take a bit of time but just wait for
it
depending on how fast your system is i
have so many programs running on my
system so
it's a bit slow let's give it a bit of
time
um
for my i just like to go to church you
know
i just named my church
then my username
oh my username i'll just go with admin
right so i'm going to be like me then
whatever it is name your password
remember whatever password you put in
just write it down somewhere so you
don't forget because
you you know you're going to use it to
log in
um as you will see so that's the
password to be using to login
to your wordpress backend
so remember what your username is and
also
what your what what what your password
is
right okay oh wait for it
so remember your username
and your password so write down your
password somewhere because that's
what you'll be using to log into your
wordpress
backend so your wordpress
dashboard so remember your username and
your password because you're going to be
needing
to log into your wordpress dashboard
right so confirm password
now confirm use password so if your
password is weak
confirm obviously
click that you see a little box there
click it
click on the confirm password confirm
use of weak passwords to click that
if your prompts prompted you and then
okay
right then for
then for your email so you put an email
whatever email you want what person
sends you
whatever it is you want
so put in your email basically putting
your email here your email putting your
the email you use here just for
maybe there are updates or newsletters
or whatever it is wordpress wants to
send you
but remember your written use of
wordpress but you must put in your email
right so the next thing is search engine
visibility discourage search engines
from
indicts in this site so just leave that
open now
then you install wordpress so basically
that's the last thing we'll be doing
so let's wait for it to install
wordpress
finally to our
database into our
system
uh so that's
basically the processes so let's just
wait for it to
complete so remember as i said
your username and your password
information
details are very important so you have
to write them to somewhere
because you'll be needing it you know to
start building your site
properly so
let's do it for installation to complete
so success wordpress has been installed
thank you and enjoy
all right so
it goes into this window you have
success wordpress has been installed

wordpress specifically how to
start building a website
