At the beginning of the video Alena mentions PHP needs to be installed locally to run. When I think of local, I think of the computer I am using?
Does she mean on the computer we are using? Or on the server?
Please clarify. Thanks!

Go to http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and download it from there. Look up youtube videos on how to install and use if you are unsure.

23,932 PointsThanks Christoffer Bergenstråhle . I currently use Xampp. When I think of a server, I think of something hosting online separately by a 3rd party. I am assuming instructor means the software needs to be installed on the online server?
