In this tutorial, I will tell you how to install the bitnami wordpress.
Here are the steps you’ll follow in this tutorial:
- Install WordPress using the Bitnami WordPress Stack.
- Log in and start using WordPress.
Step 1: Install WordPress Using The Bitnami WordPress Stack
- On Windows , begin the installation process by double-clicking the installation executable.
- Select the installation language if prompted. You will be greeted by the welcome screen. Click “Next” to proceed.
- On the resulting component selection screen, select “WordPress”. You may optionally also choose to install phpMyAdmin. Click “Next” to proceed.
- Select the installation directory for the Bitnami WordPress Stack. Click “Next” to proceed.
- Enter your name, email address, WordPress username and WordPress password. These last two values will be needed to log in to the WordPress administration panel in the next step, so note them carefully. Click “Next” to proceed.
- Enter a name for your WordPress blog (you can always change it later) and click “Next” to proceed.
- WordPress (and many other applications) can send email notifications on certain events, such as comments on posts. In case you’d like to receive these notifications, check the box to configure mail support and choose whether you’d like email to be sent via your Gmail account or a third-party SMTP server otherwise uncheck the box. Click “Next” to proceed.
- Choose whether you’d like to read about Bitnami Cloud Hosting and click “Next” to proceed, then “Next” again on the final screen to begin the installation process.
- The application will now begin installing to the directory you specified. The process usually takes a few minutes: a status indicator provides a progress update.
Once installation is complete, you will see a success message. Check the box to launch the Bitnami WordPress Stack and click “Finish” to complete the installation.
Step 2: Log In And Start Using WordPress
To log in to the WordPress dashboard, follow these steps:
- Browse to the WordPress dashboard, usually at the URL http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin or http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-admin.
- Log in with the administrator credentials from the previous step.
- You should now arrive at the WordPress dashboard, which allows you to manage posts, pages and comments; customize your blog with themes and plugins; import and export content; manage navigation menus; add or delete new user accounts; and much more.
