It basically won’t work without a host or server. While you can run a server on your home computer to build a WordPress site and test it, this sound a little beyond your current knowledge. * You might try WordPress.com as it is a lot easier there. * [govpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/govpatel/) * (@govpatel) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-cannot-install/#post-1941983) * If you want to learn how to use wordpress before you invest any money in domain name and host account you install a wamp server on your PC and install wordpress locally that only can see and learn wordpess. * I have tutorial videos on how to use admin panel and a article and videos on [how to install wamp server and wordpress](http://gbpcentral.com/blog/how-to-install-wamp-server-on-computer-and-make-changes-to-files/) on your PC. * If still have questions will be glad to help you. * Thread Starter [jayvechi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayvechi/) * (@jayvechi) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-cannot-install/#post-1942204) * Thanks for the replies and help.
