Wemp is a modern local web development stack that brings Nginx, MariaDB, and PHP to Windows with zero configuration.

Manage everything from the system tray by clicking the Wemp icon.

• User-friendly Interface: Designed for both beginners and experienced users.
• Multi-Version PHP Support: Switch between different PHP versions easily from the menu.
• Regular Updates: Ensures you have the latest versions of all services.
• Database Management: Utilizes phpMyAdmin for easy database management.
• Configuration Monitoring: Automatically restarts services upon configuration changes.
• Error Logging: Tracks errors in error.log for debugging.
• Autostart Option: Start Wemp automatically at system startup.

• Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
• Internet connection for downloading services

1. Download and run the latest Wemp installer from the Releases page.
2. Choose the installation path where the services will be installed (default is C:\Wemp).
3. Required services will be downloaded and configured automatically.
4. Access your web server at http://localhost or manage your database at http://localhost/phpmyadmin.

No. Uninstalling Wemp only removes the application itself. Your services, all configurations, databases, and web files remain completely intact in their installation folder. This allows you to:

• Reinstall Wemp without losing any data
• Manually manage your services if needed
• Keep your development environment even without Wemp

If you want to completely remove everything, you'll need to manually delete the services folder (default: C:\Wemp) after uninstalling the application.

To use these services from the command line, you can easily add them to your PATH:

1. Click the Wemp icon in the system tray
2. Hover over Wemp in the menu
3. Click Add Services to PATH
4. Restart your terminal for the changes to take effect

After this, you can use commands like php -v, mysql -u root, and nginx -t from any terminal.

Yes! Wemp supports multiple PHP versions. To change your PHP version:

1. Click the Wemp icon in the system tray
2. Hover over PHP in the menu
3. Select from the available PHP versions

Wemp only shows officially supported PHP versions. If you need to add a custom PHP version:

1. Hover over Wemp in the menu and click Edit Settings
2. Create a folder for your PHP version in the PHP directory (e.g., C:\Wemp\php\php-8.x)
3. Add the version to the installedVersions array in the settings
4. Restart Wemp to see your custom version in the menu

Note: Custom PHP versions will show as deprecated in the menu since they are not officially supported by the PHP project.

This is a Windows behavior caused by how Squirrel (our updater) works. Each update installs the application in a new versioned folder, which Windows treats as a completely new application even though it's the same program. You can drag the Wemp icon back to the visible tray area, and Windows will remember this preference until the next update.

To move your services folder to a different location:

1. Stop Wemp completely (right-click tray icon → Exit)
2. Manually move your services folder (e.g., from C:\Wemp to D:\Development\Wemp)
3. Start Wemp again
4. When prompted, select your new services folder location

Wemp doesn't handle folder moves automatically to prevent unexpected failures or potential file losses during the transfer process.
