Before installing MediaCMS, you need to fulfill the following prerequisites:

• A web server installed on your Windows 11 machine. You can use XAMPP or WAMP, both of which are open-source software bundles that include Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

3. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/your_folder_name. Replace your_folder_name with the name of the folder where you extracted MediaCMS.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. You will be prompted to provide your MySQL database credentials and create an admin user account.
