LAMP

How hard is Wordpress to install? In most cases simple, just ask your service provider, but if you have already installed LAMP it isn’t too difficult either.

Getting Wordpress humming along might entail having to set up a test set up using Xampp as well. Well worth the work, to help learn things.

LAMP and XAMPP are two ways to learn and set up Wordpress on your home system. Much to learn, so little time to learn it.

Wordpress usually runs on top of LAMP, Linux, Apache Web Server, MySql database and PHP (a server side interpreted language). Most folks don’t care about this level of detail, but I do.
