But if you aren\u2019t aware of installing WordPress locally, you might wonder if you can manage it on your own or you need any help.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know you can install WordPress locally in a few simple steps? If you want to experiment with development projects, test out new features, or build a WordPress site before pushing it live, a local WordPress install can let you do that.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, you will learn about installing WordPress locally on Windows and Mac, using DesktopServer, WAMP, XAMPP, or MAMP.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start!<\/p>\n<h3>An Introduction to Installing WordPress Locally<\/h3>\n<p>When you install WordPress locally, you can gain several benefits. For example, if you are traveling and don\u2019t have access to Wi-Fi, you may require a local install to continue your work.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, when you want to manipulate files and edit locally, a local install can work faster. To run the local install, there isn\u2019t much setup involved to get it up and running.<\/p>\n<p>While installing WordPress locally, you need to get a local AMP stack set up on your machine. In WordPress, AMP stands for Apache, MySQL, PHP. These software are needed to imitate the software used by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting\/wordpress-hosting\/managed-wordpress-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managed WordPress host<\/a> on its web server.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this using several methods. WAMP, XAMPP, and MAMP are the commonly used options.<\/p>\n<p>But, they are designed in such a way that they can work with variety of other software and tools and need a bit of learning. Therefore, let\u2019s first introduce you to DesktopServer, which was actually designed and optimized specifically for WordPress as a local AMP stack.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to Install WordPress Locally With DesktopServer<\/h2>\n<p>DesktopServer is ServerPress\u2019s WordPress product that makes it easy for you to install WordPress locally:<br \/>\nYou can launch a new development install within seconds in just a button\u2019s click. You get support for multisite and WP-CLI and it works on both Windows and Mac.<\/p>\n<p>Free as well as premium versions are offered by ServerPress. In premium version you will get some advanced features such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multisite support<\/li>\n<li>Import and export of third-party backups<\/li>\n<li>Deployment directly to your live site<\/li>\n<li>Bypassing any login plugins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can select the version that fits you best depending on your needs. For quick testing, the free version works well.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Download DesktopServer to Your Computer<\/h3>\n<p>For installing WordPress locally, first download DesktopServer from its website. You will find both a Windows version and a Mac version. For this example, we will use the Windows version.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the ServerPress website and click on the<strong> Free Download<\/strong> button in the top right-hand corner for DesktopServer (or <strong>Buy Premium<\/strong> if you want to):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/download-min-1024x499.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/download-min-1024x499.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/download-min-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/download-min-768x374.png 768w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/download-min.png 1349w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With this, the<strong> .zip<\/strong> file will be automatically downloaded to your computer.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Launching the DesktopServer Installer<\/h3>\n<p>After downloading the file, launch the DesktopServer installer. Before that unzip the file you just downloaded. Be patient till it gets complete.<\/p>\n<p>Then click on<strong> Install DSL<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktop-server-installer-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"908\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktop-server-installer-min.jpg 908w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktop-server-installer-min-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktop-server-installer-min-768x191.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At first, you will be asked to restart with administrator privileges. Select <strong>Continue<\/strong>. Next you will be asked to accept the terms of services, and select an option for your installation:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/new-desktopserver-installation-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/new-desktopserver-installation-min.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/new-desktopserver-installation-min-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keep the <strong>New Desktop Installation<\/strong> selected and click on <strong>Continue<\/strong>. The installation process will start and it may take few minutes to complete.<\/p>\n<p>After it\u2019s done, a popup will appear with a message saying that the installation complete. You will also know the location of the application in your computer directory. Once done, click on <strong>Finish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Enabling Plugins and Starting Apache and MySQL Services<\/h3>\n<p>After the installation is complete, a multitude of different developer plugins can be enabled:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/enable-developer-plugins-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/enable-developer-plugins-min.jpg 755w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/enable-developer-plugins-min-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Below is a quick recap of developer plugins that can be used when you install WordPress locally. The bypass login and <strong>DS-CLI<\/strong> plugins are highly recommended.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Airplane mode:<\/strong> You can control loading of external files when you develop locally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bypass login:<\/strong> As a developer you get bypass of login credentials, via quick selection of any of the first 100 usernames in a combobox.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean Import:<\/strong> It allows you to reset .htaccess and clears cache from third-party hosts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Debug and Trace:<\/strong> Forces <strong>WP_DEBUG = true<\/strong>, and allows cross-platform\/language trace statements in PHP and JavaScript.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dreamweaver Support:<\/strong> It allows you to create automatic Dreamweaver project file, and a WYSIWYG mode when you work on template files and style.css.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DS-CLI:<\/strong> It is a cross-platform, enhanced, command-line interface for professional developers. You can easily use CLI, Git, Composer, and PHPUnit. NodeJS and NPM are included to enable installation of Gulp, GRUNT, and other Node dependencies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DS-Deploy:<\/strong> It is used to move a site from a local DesktopServer install to a live server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>InnoDB Autoconvert:<\/strong> You can convert a site\u2019s tables to InnoDB on operations such as Create, Copy, Move, and Import.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Local Admin Color Bar:<\/strong> It allows you to change the Admin bar color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mailbox Viewer:<\/strong> It offers quick developer offline viewing of mail delivery services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember that some of these options are only available with the premium version. Once done, select Next. Then you will be asked if you want to start web and database services, so hit Next again.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Creating a New Development Site<\/h3>\n<p>After you have enabled plugins and started the web and database services, you will be prompted for selecting<strong> Create a new development website<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/create-development-website-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"747\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/create-development-website-min.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/create-development-website-min-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here the program will install WordPress for you. Select your site\u2019s name, which will also be its local address. We are using here <strong>\u201ctestabc\u201d<\/strong>, so our development URL will be<strong> \u201ctestabc.dev\u201d<\/strong> on our local machine:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktopserver-test-site-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"751\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktopserver-test-site-min.jpg 751w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktopserver-test-site-min-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>DesktopServer allows you to actually create different blueprints which make it similar to a pre-built template. But here we want to have a fresh installation.<\/p>\n<p>As the default blueprint, DesktopServer has the latest version of WordPress. So, you don\u2019t need to worry about manually downloading it from the repository and unzipping it.<\/p>\n<p>The site\u2019s root is by default located in your <strong>My Documents<\/strong> folder. If you don\u2019t have any issue with this, you can leave it as is. But, to make it easy, we changed them to a folder created in the root of our <strong>C: drive<\/strong> called<strong> \u201cwordpress\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once done, click on <strong>Create<\/strong>. Then you will see the URL of your local WordPress install. Click on that to complete the installation.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Installing and Configuring Your WordPress Site<\/h3>\n<p>After clicking on the above mentioned linked, your local WordPress site will open in a browser tab:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-new-site-min-1024x526.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-new-site-min-1024x526.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-new-site-min-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-new-site-min-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-new-site-min.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Select your language and click on <strong>Continue<\/strong>. You then need to enter your site a title and select a username (in case you want to make the site live later, avoid using \u201cadmin\u201d as a username), type a strong password, and your email address:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/new-wordpress-welcome-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"744\" height=\"783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/new-wordpress-welcome-min.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/new-wordpress-welcome-min-285x300.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, select<strong> Install WordPress<\/strong>. That\u2019s it! You have now installed WordPress locally and your site is up and running.<\/p>\n<p>Browse to your local install and test for if your site is working.<\/p>\n<p>Here, we\u2019ll browse <strong>\u201ctestabc.dev\u201d<\/strong> in our browser\u2019s address bar. Due to the bypass login plugin feature selected during setup, you will get a dropdown menu where you can select the admin and be automatically logged in.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously you won\u2019t be using it on the production site, but it\u2019s easy for a dev environment.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Using DesktopServer for Installing WordPress Locally<\/h3>\n<p>The way Windows manages its file permissions, you may or may not see a message when you log in about WordPress failing to update:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-update-failed-768x84-1-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-update-failed-768x84-1-min.png 768w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wordpress-update-failed-768x84-1-min-300x33.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To resolve this issue just open up the command prompt as an administrator and run the below command within your WordPress directory folder:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"lang:default decode:true \">attrib -s *.*<\/pre>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lamp-permissions-wordpress-768x254-1-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lamp-permissions-wordpress-768x254-1-min.png 768w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lamp-permissions-wordpress-768x254-1-min-300x99.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to create additional WordPress sites or edit them, just launch the DesktopServer.exe file again. You are allowed to stop and restart services, create new sites, edit them, export and import them, etc. To access phpMyAdmin, click on the Sites button on the bottom left:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktopserver-sites-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"749\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktopserver-sites-min.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/desktopserver-sites-min-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another way is to enter <strong>\u201clocalhost\u201d<\/strong> into your browser\u2019s address bar.

In case you selected the DS-CLI option during the setup process above, you will get a link for it within your dashboard. Just click on it and you can start running WP-CLI commands.<\/p>\n<p>DesktopServer also offers an export feature, so that you can export your WordPress site directly to a live site or .zip file. But this feature is can be used only on the premium version.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, you have now learned to install WordPress locally using DesktopServer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might sometimes find more convenient to work with WordPress on your local machine.
