 ## Introduction
 
-WordPress is an open source content management system (CMS) noted for its [famous 5 minute install](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/before-install/howto-install/). It is commonly deployed on a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. Although efficient local development tools such as [XAMPP](https://www.apachefriends.org/), [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/), and [wp-env](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-env/) are widely available, manually installing WordPress on LAMP for local development provides a valuable hands-on approach for beginners seeking greater understanding.

 This guide assumes you already have Rocky Linux 9.x installed, thereby covering the 'L' part of the LAMP stack.
 
-The goal of this guide is exploring how you can manually install WordPress with the LAMP stack on a Rocky Linux 9 machine. This is not a production-ready guide but a starting point to build off of. The LAMP setup included in this guide is not recommended for anything other than local development without first taking proper security measures requiring additional configuration.

 ## Conclusion
 
-You should now be able to connect to WordPress across the network, with the hostname or private IP address of the server, and finish the WordPress install. Remember, this setup is primarily intended for local development purposes. For production use, you would need additional configurations: setting a domain name, installing an SSL certificate, hardening your Apache server, fine tuning your SELinux configuration, and implementing backups. Nevertheless, by following this guide you have created a solid starting point for WordPress development on a LAMP stack.
