Download Drupal Core
Start
Step 1
Webmatrix is a free web development tool, I have been using it for a while now and I can say it’s amazing, it basically installs itself, all you need to do is follow the very easy installation instructions you don't need to tick anything or change anything, just click next until its fully downloaded and fully installed on your system.
Step 2
Next we need to get the Drupal core from http://drupal.org/project/drupal , this is the official site, always get the latest release. When its done, open the file and navigate to the file named drupal-7.18, extract it to your site files, in windows 7 the directory is in your My Documents folder, open the My Sites folder that Webmatrix creates and extract the Drupal core (drupal-7.18) into its own folder inside the My sites folder.
Step 3
Open Webmatrix, click on the open folder as site option, navigate to your My sites folder and highlight the Drupal folder, click the choose folder button. Wait for Webmatrix to open the editor window.
Step 4
This is probably the hardest part of installing Drupal with Webmatrix, creating the database. In the bottom right corner there is an option named database, click on it,the new database drop down button located in the top toolbar and select create new MySQL database. For the turtorial sake I will name it drupal, but you can call it whatever you want, you just need to remember it.
Step 5
At the top of the screen there is a run option ( that is if webmatrix hasn't already opened a browser window ) click on run with ( I work with Chrome and Firefox for the most part) dropdown and select your browser.
Step 6
Webmatrix will open a new browser tab, If you see something like this localhost:22334 you are on the right track, follow the on screen instructions.
Step 7
When you get to the New MySQL database tab enter the name you chose for the database, select the easiest user name and password, I usually use username: root Password: 1234. Click next.
Step 8
Fill in your details where it is required.
Step 9
Wait for the Drupal installation to finish.
Step 10
And presto you have drupal running on your local host.
