   or Xampp – [https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html](https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html)

 * On your PC? That one would have to have access to it. If you want to have it 
   set up on Internet, you’ll need domain and hosting somewhere. Other than that,
   you can post a job at [http://jobs.wordpress.net](http://jobs.wordpress.net)
