# Installation for Developers

 * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-for-developers/)
 * So I am trying to learn how to develope my own wordpress themes.
    I’ve been following
   the tutorial on “[http://www.webhostingsearch.com/articles/installing-wordpress-locally.php&#8221](http://www.webhostingsearch.com/articles/installing-wordpress-locally.php&#8221);
 * I am making it through all the steps except the last one (installing wordpress
   locally)
 * I have the wordpress folder unzipped in my C: drive, and I have changed the “
   wp-config-sample.php” to “wp-config.php” and changed the data base to “wordpress”
   
   username to “root” and password to ” ” (leaving it blank)
 * I am trying to install this to learn how to make wordthemes because I am tired
   of finding one and having to tweak it, I am also tired of paying for themes I
   buy and wind up not liking. If someone could help me this would be great. Unless
   someone knows an easier and quicker way to learn/develope wordpress themes. I
   am completely new to this, but I am slightly familiar with understanding the 
   coding..
 * Thanks in advance for your time.
 * -Christina

 * Okay, that helped slightly, thanks again.
 * I made it all the way to this portion
 * “In your browser, go to [http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
   and everything from there should run smoothly !”
 * When I opened the link above in my browswer (internet explorer)
    I got nothing

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.
