Easy Wordpress Installation for Novice in wordpress:
Download wordpress from http://wordpress.org/download/
Install Lamp/Wamp/Xampp any hosting server on your local machine and run the server.
Make sure the url http://localhost/ works and shows some page in browser.
Copy the downloaded wordpress folder to /var/www (for apache) or any other directory depending on the root of your server(i.e. the directory where your localhost points to)
Now you can hit the Url http://localhost/wordpress/ and it should work if you copied the code properly
Assuming you have installed mysql (during installation of LAMP) or any database client, you can create a new database to be used for wordpress or you may want to use an existing one. eg.Suppose i created a test database and hence will use it for wordpress.
Now in the form you can follow instructions shown on page http://localhost/wordpress/ and configure the server and create title, give username, password to create wp-config.php .It will automatically create table in your selected database for you.
Or else you can just go to wp-config-sample.php and modify and rename it
After this when you hit the url again you should be able to see your blog site and the first post.
You can modify and create new post by going to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
