   Installing Joomla requires a web server/host and some basic knowledge of server side scripting. I would strongly suggest finding a professional that can help you in person.

   Download xampp from here. It’s a web server with the stuff you need to run Joomla on you home computer so you can test it out.

   http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

   just get the version you need from this site and install it on your computer then unzip the joomla 1.5.3 into the c:\xampp\htdocs\joomla folder (you may have to create the folder yourself. Make sure it doesn’t unzip like this c:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\joomla1.5.3xxxxx it’s no biggy but it will mean you need to type a longer address into the browser box)

   look on your desktop for the xampp control panel. open it and start MYSQL and Apache.

   this starts a local web server on your machine so that you can run joomla.

   open your browser and type in

   localhost

   you should now see a control page for xampp.

   on the left is one that says phpMysqlAdmin or something open that.

   create a database with whatever name you like but remember it as you will need it to install the joomla database into.

   then open http://localhost/joomla/instalation/index.php

   in your browser and follow the joomla install instructions you see.

   by default xampp MYSQl settings should be

   server : localhost
   user: root
   password: (nothing– no password)
   Database: (whatever you named it)

   once the process has completed delete or rename the installation folder in c:\xampp\htdocs\joomla

   in your browser you can go to

   localhost\joomla\ homepage
   localhost\joomla\administration backend

   hope this helps
