 * When extract archive.zip, is there alternative ways to execute “installer.php”
   then to write:[https://example.com/installer.php](https://example.com/installer.php)
 * It would be fine to execute it from within File Manager (cPanel) or something
   similar that do not need ready/paid Domain name.
 * Staging is fine in some circumstances, but do not work in all multilingual instances,
   then it would be fine to test things in a folder near root.

 * Hello [@lassemann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lassemann/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out to us.
 * The primary purpose of the installer.php is to restore a backup that produces
   a WordPress website. At the end, the website should be accessible from a URL.
   
   WordPress is a PHP based CMS, which requires a a server to execute PHP scripts.
   An online server or a local server. The server/host allows you to run the website
   through URL.
 * Can you please elaborate more on your request. For example, you may mention an
   alternative way to run the installer.php or the website.
 * I’m looking forward to hearing back from you.
 * Thanks!
