<aside> ℹ️ This guide is mainly my own personal reference of how to install WordPress on AWS using a 3-tier architecture. As I use macOS, I have only been able to verify any mentioned terminal commands on my Mac. The commands may still be compatible with the Windows 10/11 Command Prompt and Linux however you may need to do your own troubleshooting should anything not work.

• Please feel free to use this document as a guide however be aware that I have not gone into detail by adding screenshots for all of the resources.

• You will need to click on the ▶︎ toggles to see all of the details for each section.

• WordPress requires a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) in order to run it on a web server. You can also use a LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP). This guide will use a LAMP stack.

• Some of the services used in this guide will occur charges if left running. It is your own responsibility to terminate everything after you have finished testing.

• The details in this guide are based on the AWS console as of March 2023. </aside>
