Now a days,developing a web application is made so simple.Thanks to the open source tools available for it.In my future articles,we will see about the open source tools in detail.The basic requirement for many of the open source tools is WAMP Server.In this article,we will see how to install the wamp in our system.

 What is WAMP?

WAMP is an acronym formed from the initials of the operating system Microsoft Windows  Apache, MySQL and one of PHP, Perl or Python.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Click the EXE downloaded to install the wamp in your machine.Click the wamp icon to start running your wamp server..The W icon on the taskbar must be green in color else WAMP server will not work properly.The same is shown in the following picture:
