Tainacan is a wordpress plugin. To use it, if you have nothing installed, you'll need to perform three very simple installations:
- A web server in your machine. Here we show how to install XAMPP on windows.
- The wordpress. See how to install wordpress on a XAMPP server (windows).
- The Tainacan plugin. We taught how to install Tainacan in wordpress.
To start, let's go to https://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html and download XAMPP for windows.
In the picture above, click on the button XAMPP for Windows 7.3.6 (PHP 7.3.6) to begin the download. At the end of the process, we will start the installation process by running the downloaded file.
This is the initial installation screen. Click the Next button.
This is the screen with the selection of components to be installed. No need to change anything. Click Next again.
In this screen, the program asks you for the installation location. Again, there is no need to change anything. Click Next.
In this screen, Bitnami, which is an installer library, is displayed. Again, it is not necessary to change anything. Click Next.
Here is just a warning message. The installation process is ready to begin. Click Next to begin the process.
The installation process is now running. Wait for the bar to be fully populated.
The process is now completed and the installation is done. Leave the check box selected and click Finish. Thus, the current screen will be closed and the control panel box will be displayed shortly thereafter.
The language selection box is displayed. Choose the first option, English. Then click Save.
The control panel box is displayed as in the image above. To make XAMPP work, you must click on the Start button of the Apache and MySQL services. NOTE: These two services must be enabled whenever the server is used.
If everything went well, both services will turn green, as in the image above. Now click on the Admin button. Your main browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer... the one you use the most in your machine) will open with the localhost/dashboard address already entered.
If the installation has been completed without problems, the screen above will appear. Now the server is working properly and we'll go to the folder where the files should be stored to appear in the browser.
In the image above, you can see the folder address: C:/xampp/htdocs.
That's where the files are to be viewed in the browser.
That's it. Now we have a XAMPP server running on windows.
Now it's time to start installing Wordpress on your XAMPP server.
