Installing and hosting WordPress locally on your computer gives you a testing ground, allows you to build websites before migrating them to a live server/host. It also gives you the chance and freedom of testing out some WordPress features, themes and plugins before using them on your live site. Beginners can also install WordPress locally for learning purposes, without having to pay a dime for a domain name or hosting.

How to install and host WordPress locally on your pc

There are two ways of installing and hosting WordPress locally that i know of:

1. Using WAMP, MAMP, LAMP or XAMPP
2. Using LocalWP

The first one (WAMP, MAMP, LAMP and XAMPP) is a bit difficult to setup, most especially for beginners, while the second one (LocalWP) is really very simple and beginner friendly. For the sake of this tutorial, we are going to be talking about the second one, LocalWP.
