XAMPP is similar just like wampserver. Now, choice depends on you. You can learn their official sites how to install such software in your computer. Here, I am using wampserver to install drupal. So, after successfully installed, please run software as open wampserver and “put it online” and then, check in any browser through type in address bar “localhost”.
If wampserver web is opened then, it is successfully installed. You can try to execute php code in wampserver in order to check it working properly or not. If you are new with php and don’t know how to execute php then, please watch this tutorial first – Click here!

After renamed, put that folder in location – “C:\wamp\www”.
Now, create a database for drupal in order to host data of your drupal website with the help of phpmyadmin as open phpmyadmin web in your browser through address “localhost/phpmyadmin”.
In that website, Create a database named it as drupal and then, add a user as it will work as to enter in database. Enter login information, set password and grant all privileges to work as admin (super user).
Finally, it’s time to install drupal. Enter an address in any browser as “localhost/drupal” and open it to get drupal wizard. This is six step setup as in first step – please choose standard option and click on save and continue button.
