Follow these simple steps:
- Open your browser and head to the official WordPress site. A quick search for "WordPress" will get you there.
- Click on the official WordPress.org link from the search results. You'll want the .org version, not .com—that's where the self-hosted magic happens.
- Once you're on the WordPress homepage, click the "Get WordPress" button. This takes you straight to the download page.
- Hit "Download WordPress X.Y.Z" to grab the latest version. The .zip file will start downloading to your machine.
- Nice work! You've downloaded WordPress.
