Installing XAMPP

Step 1: Download
• XAMPP is a release made available by the non-profit project Apache
Friends. Versions with PHP 8 are available for download on the
Apache Friends website.

Step 3: Deactivate any antivirus software
• Since an active antivirus program can negatively affect the installation
process, it’s recommended to temporarily pause any antivirus
software until all XAMPP components have successfully been
installed.

Step 4: Deactivate UAC
• User Account Control (UAC) can interfere with the XAMPP installation
because it limits writing access to the C: drive, so we recommend you
deactivate this too for the duration of the installation process. To find
out how to turn off your UAC, head to the Microsoft Windows
support pages.

Step 9: Windows Firewall blocking
• Your Firewall may interrupt the installation process to block the some
components of the XAMPP. Use the corresponding check box to
enable communication between the Apache server and your private
network or work network. Remember that making your XAMPP
server available for public networks isn’t recommended.
