![]() ![]() If the above check was OK you are now you are ready to install WampServer, download the below file and install. If you missed a file go back and install it before moving onto WampServer install. Once each file is installed you can check if you are ready to move on to WampServer install with this program below. If you are installing on a 64 bit Windows install both x86 and 64 even though we are only installing the 32bit version of WampServer. Scroll to bottom if page under the heading “Microsoft VC packages VC2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015-2019 zip files” and download either the 32 bit or 32 &64 bit zip of “All VC Redistributable Packages”, open it and install each file. ![]() Fortunately the good people at WampServer have bundled all these together in one zip file that you can download here. As WampServer is made up of several programs created in various versions of Microsoft’s Visual C program it is important that you install the dependency files first before installing WampServer. To set up WampServer we will need a few files firstly the WampServer files themselves as well as several of Microsoft’s VC Redistributable packages. Other systems exist like LAMP for Linux or MAMP for MacOS and you could even use this to set up other dynamic web platform like Joomla or Druple, but my guide below deals with installing WordPress on the software WampServer on a Windows 10 PC (although installing on Windows 7 should be similar). This is where WAMP comes in, it is the software stack that bundles all these programs on Windows so you can set up a mini server to host your website locally on your own PC. To run WordPress on a server you need 3 bits of software that operate in the background, Apache, MySQL and PHP. Fortunately there is a way to develop with WordPress offline and that is to set up a local WAMP server on your PC. In the old days you could develop your new static html files locally and ftp them when you were happy to go live with your new site. That drawback is that if you want to make huge changes to a template or a transfer a site from static files to WordPress there maybe a downtime of your site if you are doing it all live. While its advantages over creating sites with static html files include the vast amount of templates and plugins available there is one minor drawback when it comes to developing with it. What started out as a blogging platform now powers the over 35% of the websites you may visit. If you have ever done any website development you are bound to come across WordPress. ![]()
