HOW TO INSTALL WORDPRESS ON WINDOWS 11 FOR OFFLINE WEBHOSTING?

Method 1: Using WSL (Windows Sub-System for Linux)

Step 1- Install WSL

Install WSL by performing the following steps:

1. Enter the following command in an administrator PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt and then restarting your machine.

wsl –install

Now, please wait until WSL is installed.

Once the installation is complete, please restart the PC.

2. The above command only works if WSL is not installed at all, if you run wsl –install and see the WSL help text, please try running wsl –list –online to see a list of available distros and run wsl –install -d <DistroName> to install a distro.

Step 2- Install NGINX Webserver

WordPress requires a webserver to function; hence you need to install one.

Now you need to run the following command once you boot the Linux distribution you just installed.

sudo apt update

sudo apt install nginx

After successfully installing NGINX, you need to run the following commands to enable Start and Stop services.

sudo service nginx start

sudo service nginx stop

Now let us verify if NGINX is working. Enter http://localhost in any web browser. It should show the following page:

Step 3- Installing Database Server

WordPress stores information in a database server. So, we need to install one. Maria Database Server is most suitable for this purpose. So, let us install it.

Please run the following command inside your WSL Linux distro.

sudo apt install mariadb-server

Run another command to assign a root password to secure the database server.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Now you will be asked to validate secure password component. Press Y and hit Enter.

Enter the password and confirm it by entering the password again.

Step 4- Installing PHP

WordPress is based on PHP. So, this step is a must. Please install PHP by entering the following command.

sudo apt install php-fpm php-common php-mysql php-gmp php-curl php-intl php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-gd php-xml php-cli php-zip

(Please copy the command to avoid typo)

Step 5- Install WordPress

WordPress can be easily installed now. Enter the following commands to start with.

wget cd /tmp

https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

sudo mv wordpress /var/www/wordpress

You need www-data to own the WordPress directory. Here is how to get it. Enter the following commands.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/WordPress/

sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/wordpress/

Now follow the on-screen instructions to successfully install WordPress. You can customize your website now.
