I downloaded Apache HTTP Server 2.4.9 and its now sitting as a zip file in my finder
This would be installed on a local computer as I do not have web space with anyone at the moment.
I was able Download and unzip the WordPress package but that was basically it. I’m not entirely sure how to do step 2 which would be, Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
