④ Launch the installed “Local” software.

⑥ Enter “your site’s name” and click “Continue.”
⑦ Select “Custom” and proceed according to the settings of your public server. For LOLIPOP!, you can check each item from the following.

- Database: User Management Screen > Server Management Settings > Database
⑧Enter the following WordPress login information and click “Add Site” to create a local site.

Using the local environment
① Launch “Local.”
② Select the “Local site” created in (1), click “Start site” in (2), and then click “WP Admin” in (3) to launch the local WordPress environment.
The first time you launch it, the WordPress login screen will appear. Additionally, WordPress is set to English by default, so you can change the language settings as needed under Settings > Site Language.
