The best answer
To install cPanel on a local host, you will need to set up a server environment on your local machine, as cPanel is primarily designed for server environments and is typically installed on web hosting servers. There are software packages available that can help you create a local server environment such as XAMPP (for Windows, macOS, and Linux) or MAMP (for macOS). These packages provide the necessary components (eg Apache, MySQL, PHP) to create a local web server.
The installation process can be more complex compared to installing on a dedicated server or a hosting provider’s server. It may require additional configuration and settings to work in the localhost environment.
Please note that cPanel functionality may be limited in a local host setup, as it relies on specific server features and services. But you can still familiarize yourself with the cPanel interface and its basic functionalities for testing and learning purposes. But it is highly recommended to purchase shared hosting for testing purposes.
