How Do I Install WordPress Files?

When you are setting up WordPress on your computer, you will need to copy the files from the WordPress folder to the desired location on your computer. This is typically C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\WordPress\ .

First, you will need to open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Mac) and change to the WordPress directory.

cd C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\WordPress

Next, you will need to copy the wp-config.php file and the wp-content folder to the desired location.

cp wp-config.php wp-content

You can optionally copy the images and styles folders, if desired.

cp images styles

You are now ready to start using WordPress! If you ever need to reinstall WordPress, just copy the files back to the original location and start over.
