Install WordPress Locally

[Chris]

Hi,

Is it possible to install WordPress locally on your machine? I don't want this to be accessible on the public web. This site will be for a company intranet. Once created, then is it possible to move the folder with all the files to a network folder that employees have access to, and then they can use the link to access the WordPress intranet?

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, it is possible. You will need to setup your local system to support PHP/MySQL and a web server. You can use the software like XAMPP in your server which will allow you to run PHP and MySQL in your local system and you will be able to install WordPress using XAMPP.
