   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.ht…
   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:xampphtdocsjoomla folder (you may have to create the folder yourself. Make sure it doesn’t unzip like this c:xampphtdocsjoomlajoomla1.5.3xxxxx 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/inde…
   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:xampphtdocsjoomla
   in your browser you can go to
   localhostjoomla homepage
   localhostjoomlaadministration backend
   hope this helps

   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.
