    Default Local PC Installation?

    Can Zen Cart be installed on a local pc to be used only on the pc before being uploaded to an online server? I have students who would like to use the software to create a store for a competition, but would like to keep it on the local machine instead of going live. These would make the load times quicker when they are presenting the site at competitions.

    Thanks!

    Lots of people install test installations on a local machine. There's a wiki entry here:

    and The Book (link above) has (I think) complete instructions.

    You can also search the forums for XAMPP.

    this may help you too - works with a lot of versions of the cart

    but since you're doing it in a school environment - please print it off and then give it to your students.
