Codeigniter is one of the most popular and lightweight PHP framework. it requires almost zero configuration. In this tutorial, I am going to download and install Codeigniter in xampp.

Step 1: Download the latest version of CodeIgniter

You can download the latest version of CodeIgniter from the official Codeigniter website.


Step 2: Unzip CodeIgniter zip file 

Step 2: unzip the file in your "xampp / htdocs / your_project" directory.


Step 3: Set the Baseurl configuration.
