Requirements: drupal.org
1) WAMP Server 2.1e: space.dl.sourceforge.net/
2) Drupal 7.0: ftp.drupal.org/
3) Installation guide: drupal.org/node/307956
4) Download the latest version of WAMP and install it on your C:\wamp21e.
5) Start WAMP Server.
6) Download Drupal 7.0, unzip it, rename the folder name as drupal; and copy it into the folder C:\wamp21e\www. So you can access your local Drupal install at http://localhost/drupal.
7) In a web browser, go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Click on the Privileges tab to create a new database user for Drupal. Choose the name "drupal", select "localhost" for host, and enter your password "drupal" (twice). Choose the option to create a new database with the same name and grant all privileges.
8) Copy & paste the file "default.settings.php" in "c:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\sites\default", and name it "settings.php". You should now have two identical files in your "c:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\sites\default" folder -- one called "settings.php" and one called "default.settings.php".
9) Browse to http://localhost/drupal/install.php and follow the instructions it gives. For the database information, use what you set up in step 7.
