After installing XAMPP, start Apache and MySQL by clicking on the 'Start' button next to them.
Download TYPO3
Download the latest version of TYPO3 from https://typo3.org/download/. You can download the "Introduction Package" which includes a sample website or "Source Package" if you want to start a new installation from scratch.
Install TYPO3
After downloading TYPO3, extract the package and copy the contents of the 'typo3_src' folder to your XAMPP htdocs folder. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/typo3/install.php to start the TYPO3 installation process.
Configure TYPO3
After completing the installation process, you need to configure TYPO3 by setting up a database connection and creating a first user. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
