I will not make your life so difficult on installing many applications, like PHP, Apache and Mysql.
Their is a complete package combining this 3 Major Components the XAMPP applications.
1. Be sure you have locally installed XAMPP Applications.
If you don’t have download this software on XAMMP site just select for Windows. After downloading, you can unzip this anywhere in your Drive.
Do’s
In my side I usually put this on my Drive D. separate for the installation of Operating System in case you have plan to reformat your System , all your files is always present ,
Don’t
Unlike if you put it in in “Drive C” all your files will be deleted after the installation of your New Operationg System.
2. Download wordpress file on this link download

Configuring WordPress
Put the downloaded wordpress in your XAMMP Applications under htdocs folder in my case i renamed it to wordpress4.6
- Open your local phpmyadmin and create database, in my case I create a database name wordpress4.6 you can use any name you wanted, click the “Create” button.
- Change the wp-config-sample.php under “wordpress4.6” folder to wp-config.php
this is the default content
<?php
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
