]]> Hi! If are you a web developer o simply want to try to program, surely needs some software in order to do your job. Specifically, a webserver like Apache, a  programming language like PHP and a database like MySQL. These programs mentioned have great popularity at the present time, even though there are other tools to use, MariaDB for example. Under those circumstances, we can install it one per one (please check our tutorial about install Apache on Windows 10). Or there is also the opportunity to use software packages that include all the mentioned programs. In this opportunity, we will talk about XAMPP. It is an independent free code platform server. It allows us to easily install Apache on our own computer, regardless of our operating system. XAMPP is an open-source package and free. It is a development tool that allows us to test the work on our own computer without having to access the internet. So, let´s see how to install Xampp on Windows 10.

Installing XAMMP on Windows 10

To start, we must go to XAMMP site in order to download the last package ( 7.3.7 / PHP 7.3.7).
