 * You need to add database name user name & password details in wp-config.php file.
   
   open wordpress directory and find wp-cofig-sample.php file and rename it to wo-
   config.php. After renaming open this file & find following line
 *     ```
       /** The name of the database for WordPress */
       define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
   
       /** MySQL database username */
       define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
   
       /** MySQL database password */
       define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
   
       /** MySQL hostname */
       define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
       ```
   
 * replace database_name_here with your data base name. for wamp user name is root
   and password is blank. after adding database name above lines will be like following.
 *     ```
       /** The name of the database for WordPress */
       define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
   
       /** MySQL database username */
       define('DB_USER', 'root');
   
       /** MySQL database password */
       define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
   
       /** MySQL hostname */
       define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
       ```
   
 * now save wp-config.php file and visit localhost/wordpress to complete WordPress
   installation.
