Firstly, you must download python, preferably a higher version Download and install, if you haven't done so already, see: www.python.org Pip is a package installer for python Check pip version in cmd by typing python -mpip --version result> pip X.Y.Z from python version

To download Apache You must first install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2019 x64. Download and Install, if you have not done so already, see:

Unzip the Apache24 folder to c:/Apache24 (that is the ServerRoot in the config). The default folder for your your webpages is DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/htdocs"

When you unzip to an other location: change Define SRVROOT "c:/Apache24" in httpd.conf, for example to "E:/Apache24"

Run and test

Open a command prompt window and cd to the c:\Apache24\bin folder.

To Start Apache in the command prompt type:

>httpd.exe

Press Enter. If there are any errors it will tell you. Warnings will not stop Apache from working, they do need to be addressed none the less. If there are no errors the cursor will sit and blink on the next line.

You can test your installation by opening up your Browser and typing in the address:

 http://localhost

You can shut down Apache by pressing Ctrl+C (It may take a few seconds)
