Adding a siteĪfter you click Add Site, you go through a configuration screen which includes the Site Setup which covers sitename, domain and path, the Environment which is the web server and PHP version and then WordPress configurations which include setting it up as a multi-site, setting the main admin username and password and admin email address. If you already have VirtualBox on your local machine Local by FlyWheel will use that.

Once you sign up for the download Local by FlyWheel you will get an email with a download link to a zip archive, download that and extract it which leaves you with the Local by FlyWheel app, move that into your /Applications directory and run it.Įnter you license details as emailed to you and then an initial download will begin of VirtualBox, the Host Machine and the Local by FlyWheel Image. This guide has been updated from Pressmatic, so the screen grabs have the old naming – I haven’t got to grips with the name of the taken over product, is it just Local or is it Local By Flywheel – the former is too close to localhost and the latter is a bit weird, maybe it should have been DevWheel or FlyDev.

Local by FlyWheel (previously known as Pressmatic) is a new WordPress local development solution which uses Docker container technology and VirtualMachines, the app takes care of all the installation and configuration of everything you need and can effortlessly spin up multiple WordPress sites with different configurations for PHP and web server as well as include SSL certs and offer remote tunnelling from remote devices.
