How do i install WHMCS locally in my computer, i'm just trying to learn how to develop and design WHMCS Themes so i need to install it on my computer.

Just like you would on any other server, assuming you have a web server and all the required software installed (LAMP) on your local computer. Make sure you are on a fixed IP with your ISP for the license check and that you have punched all the ports (firewall) on your network. This alone is just a terrible bad idea for security reasons. You should never turn your personal laptop or personal system into a public accesible web server unless you know exactly what you are doing. If your question is if WHMCS can work offline, not it cannot. It requires eventually an Internet communication for the license check.

You can use Xamp or Wamp for an easy way to deploy a local server for testing. But even for testing or developing you still require a valid license from WHMCS. You cannot use WHMCS without a license, that includes developing.

I suggest you use a test domain name or a sub-domain to develop/test your WHMCS installation/website than hosting locally.

Sorry for too late answer,

Enable XAMPP server,  apache and my sql

Go to myphp admin > new database >( give it a name) and add new user account in  privileage section

give password and username for database and host name as localhost- then check the all box at bottom > then click go

After that, navigate to ioncube loader website and download the file with same php version of xampp, extract the zip file to c:/xampp/htdocs

(It will look like this c:/xampp/htdocs/ioncube)

•Now the whmcs file,

Purchase it and extract files and copy it to the same htdocs (c:/xampp/htdocs/whmcs)

•Now you need to customize the php.ini

(Remember to stop sql and apache)

Open xampp control panel, click config next to apache, and select php.ini from drop down

- Now edit it with notpad

Now here whe have to give the path of our ioncube loader dll, which is for your current xampp php version

•In the ion cube folder there will be some .dll files like

ioncube_loader7.2.dll

Ioncube_loader7.4.dll

Select your php version copy its name come back to notepad and add this to the top of  

 line

Zend_extension="c:/xampp/htdocs/ioncube/ioncube_loader 7.4.2.dll"

The you are ready to go !

•Open browser

Type localhost/whmcs

Then you'll enter the

1) Database name (we given in phpmyadmin)

2) Username we given

3) password

4)host name - localhost

•Run the installation

add a valid licence key 

Fire it up !!!

I hope you got it, thanks :))
