Before installing WordPress, you need to check that your web hosting provider fulfills the necessary software and conditions. Also, you must have an access method to the server and some tools.

Requirements on the server side Requirements on the server side

• PHP 7.2 or greater
• MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB 10 or greater

Requirements on local Requirements on local

• Login Account (user id and password) to the server via FTP or shell
• Text Editor
• FTP
• Your web browser of choice

You will need to know how to use a text editor to edit the main configuration file. If you are a Windows user, Notepad will do. If you’re an OS X user you can use TextEdit. Later, you will likely want to edit your Template Files. You can do this through the WordPress Administration Screens, but using a good text editor is highly recommended.

You will need to be able to use an FTP program to upload files and set file permissions (optional). You could choose FileZilla for this task.
