Pagekit is a content management system that allows users to create and manage websites. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Pagekit on a Windows 10 computer.
Prerequisites
- A Windows 10 computer
- A web server software such as XAMPP or WAMP
- An internet connection
Step 1 - Download Pagekit
- Go to the Pagekit website and click on the "Download" button.
- Choose the latest stable version of Pagekit.

Step 2 - Install a Web Server Software
Pagekit requires a web server software to run on your computer. We recommend installing XAMPP or WAMP.
- Download and install XAMPP or WAMP onto your computer.
- Run the web server software and ensure both Apache and MySQL are running.
Step 3 - Create a Database
Pagekit requires a database to store its data. We will create a new database for Pagekit using the web server software's admin panel.
For XAMPP:
- Open your web browser and go to
http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
- Click on the "Databases" tab and create a new database for Pagekit.
- Make a note of the database name as we will need it later.
For WAMP:
- Open your web browser and go to
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php.
- Click on the "New" button and create a new database for Pagekit.
- Make a note of the database name as we will need it later.
Step 4 - Extract and Move Pagekit
- Extract the downloaded Pagekit file to
C:\xampp\htdocs\ or C:\wamp64\www\.
- Rename the Pagekit folder to your website's name.
- Move the renamed folder to your web server's DocumentRoot directory:
- For XAMPP:
C:\xampp\htdocs\
- For WAMP:
C:\wamp64\www\
Step 5 - Install Pagekit
- Open your web browser and go to
http://localhost/your_website_name.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
- When prompted, enter the database details:
- For XAMPP:

Step 6 - Access Pagekit

http://localhost/your_website_name in your web browser.
