There are four popular local servers such as MAMP (Mac &amp;\nWindows), WampServer(Windows), XAMPP(Windows, Mac, Linux), and Varying Vagrant\nVagrants(VVV \u2013 WordPress specific Vagrant configuration for Windows, Mac,\nLinux). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you setting up the local server, the first thing you\nneed to download the WordPress core files from this URL <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/\">https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/<\/a> on\nto your computer. Remember the exact path where you installed the WordPress\ncore on your hard drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the root WordPress folder, there are many files with\nextension of php and prefixed wp- files, these are the part of WordPress core\nfiles and you don\u2019 t need to touch them. There are three folders named\nwp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes in the main folder.&nbsp; We are only going to access the folder\nnamed wp-content, all the themes and plug-ins located in this folder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to create a folder and you name it whatever\nyou like, this name going to be the title of the new theme. I\u2019m going to title\nit \u2018myNewTheme\u2019. This new folder should be located in the themes folder that is\nlocated in wp-contents folder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In myNewTheme folder, you need to create files named\nindex.php and style.css.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you can type \u201cHello World!\u201d in index.php and style.css.&nbsp; In the style.css&nbsp; you can type this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\/* <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theme Name: myNewTheme<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Smith Wooden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author URI:\nhttps:\/\/www.yourwebsiteurl.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Version: 1.0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>as an example and save it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then go to Dashboard of WordPress backend and click Appearance and select Themes, you should be see your new theme.
