 * Hi, I am NEW NEW to WordPress and so confused at the moment. I am currently trying
   to download WordPress to my PC Windows 10 64Bit.
    I know I need to download MySQL&
   PHP and have read the install guidelines and watch some videos also to learn 
   what to do. But where do you suggest I get that software and is WAMP or Bitnami
   the best? or is something better recommended? Thank you

 * Local by Flywheel. It’s free and after the 1st large download, you can spin up
   a WP site in seconds.

 * Thank you. Can you tell me why you choose that over the WAMP or Bitnami or others
   suggested? Besides it being free?
    Once I download Flywheel, is there anything
   else I have to do? or can I just download WP and start? Thank you

 * I use it and it’s incredibly easy for local dev work.
 * When you download and install Local By Flywheel and start it for the first time,
   you’ll see a “install wordpress” button. Click it and it all happens.
