Wordpress Local

I have used wordpress since the very first version, but have never actually run it locally until now. So I got it installed using PacmanXG. But how do I RUN it??? I found the files, but how cant open the .php files in my browser. Does anyone have experience with this that cn kind of coach me through this?

Some of this will have changed, but it should point you in the right direction:

WordPress doesn't just "run" in a web browser. Instead, it requires a web server.

One option is you can setup your Arch Linux computer as a "LAMP" web server. I did this a while back myself. One Saturday morning a while back, I went from absolutely zero knowledge about web servers to running my own web site in just a couple of hours by following the information in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP

Try it and ask questions if you get stuck!

I personally recommend the very easy installation package from apache friends right here. You do not gain much knowledge
about webservers when installing it, but it is even for beginners easy to use. You can just copy the wordpress folder to /path/to/xamppfolder/htdocs and then type in your webbrowser "http://localhost:80/name-of-wordpress-folder".

Make sure you have permissions set right!

If you need help just PM me.
