Instantwp



With InstantWP you also get phpMyAdmin with a pre-configured MySQL database. By default the username is “ root ” and the password is left blank. During the process of migrating the site to a real server you will be asked to provide the username, password and hostname of your webhost’s database. InstantWP is a complete standalone, portable WordPress development environment. It will turn almost any Windows or macOS machine into a WordPress development server. InstantWP is free software, published under the GPL v3 License. Of course InstantWP is spyware and adware free.

There’s no real need to install WordPress locally unless you’re a developer.

The reason for this is that most hosting providers offer an easy one click installation of WordPress.

The other problem is that at some stage you’ll need to transfer your site to a live server which can be very technically challenging.

If you still need to, here’s the tutorial using Instant WP.
