All of the following is for importing your live site to your localhost (WAMP). WAMP is free. You can also play with WordPress without a live site to get the feel of a live site.

First of all what patv is saying is right. All files for WordPress gos it the C:/wamp/www/somesubdirectory/{your WordPress files}

So if you haven’t yet, get WAMP and install. When you get to the site, you’ll see many different languages. Pick yours.

You will also need a free text editor. A good one to start with is Notepad2.

Now the tutorial.
This is a XAMPP tutorial. Follow it other than the XAMPP part. The two important parts are the wp-content from your live site and the phpMyAdmin.

I use WAMP on my windows and LAMP for my Linux box.
Hope this helps.

It took a bit to setup, but yes. Works fine if you are running a local server like WAMP, XAMPP for windows, or LAMP linux.

Thank you sir!
