Setting up wordpress locally (1 reply)

Hello members, i am new to word press and learning every day in a mission to become a pro

Recently i have installed word press locally and trying to set up the Wamp server. This led me to check few articles and video online with the set up procedure. My question is why do we have to unzip the wordpress folder inside wamp/www folder . Is there any science behind it?

Thanks, your answers will be appreciated
