   • Download the appropriate XAMPP version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

2. Run the Installer:

   • Double-click the downloaded XAMPP installer file to start the installation process.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the installation.
   • Choose the components you want to install (Apache, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin, etc.).
   • Select the installation directory (default is recommended).
   • Complete the installation process.

3. Start XAMPP:

   • After the installation is complete, locate and launch the XAMPP Control Panel.
   • Start the Apache and MySQL modules by clicking the "Start" button next to each module.
   • Wait for the modules to start (the corresponding "Running" message should appear).

4. Test XAMPP:

   • Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).
   • Type http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 in the address bar and press Enter.
   • If XAMPP is running correctly, the XAMPP welcome page should appear.

5. Configure PHP and MySQL:

   • To configure PHP settings, locate the php.ini file in the XAMPP installation directory (e.g., C:\xampp\php\php.ini).
   • Open the php.ini file with a text editor and make necessary modifications (e.g., adjusting memory_limit, upload_max_filesize).
   • To configure MySQL, access the phpMyAdmin interface by visiting http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your web browser.
   • Create a new database for Artrise (e.g., "artrise_db") using the phpMyAdmin interface.
   • Import the provided database

6. Move Artrise Files:

   • Clone or download the Artrise project files from the repository.
   • Move the project files to the XAMPP htdocs directory. For example, in Windows, it is typically located at C:\xampp\htdocs\artrise.

   • The Artrise application should now be accessible, and you can proceed with the installation and setup specific to your project.

Make sure to adjust the installation and configuration steps based on your operating system and specific requirements. XAMPP provides a convenient local development environment for running PHP applications like Artrise on your own machine.
