How to Install WordPress on your Windows Computer Using WAMP

0. Requirements
PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
MySQL version 5.0 or greater
1. install wampserver.
2. create test data base using phpmyadmin.(ex.wordpress_testdb)
3. Installing WordPress on Windows with WAMP.
Download a copy of WordPress from WordPress.org.
Extract the zip file and copy the wordpress folder.
Go to C:\wamp\www and paste wordpress folder there.
You can rename the wordpress folder to anything you want for example mysite, wpbeginner, etc.
For the sake of this tutorial, we renamed our wordpress directory to mysite.
Now open a web browser and go to: http://localhost/mysite/
4. WordPress will inform you that it can not find a wp-config.php file.
5. Click on the Create a Configuration File button to create it.
6. On the next screen, you need to provide your database information. The database name will be the one that you selected. In our case, we called it test_db.
Please note that your default database username will be root and leave the password blank.
Click on the submit button and WordPress will create a configuration file for you.
7. After this you will see a screen informing you that WordPress has successfully created the configuration file, and you can proceed with the installation.
Click on Run Install button.
8. On the next screen, fill out the installation form. You need to provide a title for your website, choose an admin username and password, and provide admin email address.
Finally press the Install WordPress button.
9. WordPress will quickly run the installation and create database tables. Once done, you will see a success message after the installation.
You can then proceed to your WordPress by clicking on the Log in button.
