Is there no video to install wordpress locally for windows?

Hello, I seem to be confused. The video goes into MAMP which was for MAC, but I am running PC. I am lost on what to do, it doesn't mention anything about PC now. OR is it just automatic with PC after I copy the files into the htdocs folder?

Hi Anthony,

If you've done the XAMPP setup for Windows, you should be good to go with the Installing WordPress Locally video. All of the instructors on TT do seem to use Macs, but generally once you've got the server/db setup via XAMPP you should be able to just drop your WP files into htdocs, as you say, and go from there. Make sure XAMPP is running! :)
