+2. Start XAMPP:
+
+- Open the XAMPP Control Panel after installation.
+
+- Start the Apache and MySQL services by clicking the “Start” button next to each.
+
+3. - Clone code on `htdocs` folder inside your XAMPP installation directory. Eg. C:\xampp\htdocs
+   
+> git clone git@git.estack.com:rob/estack-public-site.git estack.com
+  
+
+4. Configure CodeIgniter:
+
+- Open the `application/config/config.php` file in your CodeIgniter project folder.
