Run WordPress Locally with FlyEnv
WordPress commonly runs on PHP with MySQL or MariaDB and a local web server. FlyEnv manages that familiar CMS environment and optional services such as Redis around each site.

About WordPress
WordPress is an open-source content management system for building websites.
Project resources
For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official WordPress documentation.
Typical local stack
The exact services depend on the project, its release, and its local configuration. This is a common local setup, not a fixed requirement.
- PHP
- MySQL / MariaDB
- Nginx / Apache / Caddy
- Redis
- Node.js
| Component | Typical role |
|---|---|
| PHP | Runs WordPress and PHP extensions. |
| MySQL / MariaDB | Stores site content and settings. |
| Nginx / Apache / Caddy | Serves the local website. |
| Redis | May support object caching when configured. |
| Node.js | May build custom theme or block assets. |
How FlyEnv helps
