How to Install WordPress?

-

If you have ever been in a website development process, or has a website up and running, you probably have heard about WordPress. It is also the most favored platform because of its flexibility and easy usage. It has seen incredible usage growth in website development. Over the years, it has grown from helping to develop blogs & websites to content management system(CMS), eCommerce websites, membership sites to name a few. WordPress Installation

WordPress comes in two variations; WordPress.org and WordPress.com. While the former is a free, open-source downloadable software that works in a self-hosted environment, while being installed and administered on your computer, the latter is a blogging hosting platform that works as a wizard and does not need installation on your computer.

In this article, I’ll explain how to install WordPress software on your computer. To use WordPress, we need a web host server. Basically, there are two ways you can install WordPress; On your third-party web host server or using localhost on your computer.

Installing WordPress on Web host server

There are two methods for installing WordPress on your hosting server:

  1. Using FTP Client software.
  2. Using cPanel of the respective hosting server.
1. Using FTP Client software

You can use FTP Client software like FileZilla or CyberDuck for uploading your WordPress folder on your website.

  • Download FileZilla.
  • Configure the setup to connect your hosting server.
  • Download WordPress software from the official website.
  • Unzip the downloaded WordPress file and upload the folder to your site.
  • Create a database on your MySQL database.
  • Enter your website’s URL in the URL bar of the browser and follow the installation procedure (the WordPress installation is discussed later in this article).
2. Using cPanel of the respective hosting server

Many popular hosting service providers have created a cPanel(or wizard) to install WordPress and other website building tools. You can check your hosting server dashboard or contact them for the installation process.

How to install WordPress on Localhost?

Using localhost is a great way to learn, develop or test your website before going live. For this, you need to install local server software like XAMPP, WAMP or MAMP. These tools are available for free and there is no overhead of finding unique domain names or paying any price. They are hassle-free, and most importantly, work exactly the same way as a web host.

Here I’ll explain the step-by-step process of installing WordPress locally for both Windows and Mac computer.
