I installed WordPress on Raspberry Pi: My Experience and Findings
Getting started: hardware requirements
Before I show you how to do the install, I’ll give you the shopping list required. The good news is that most of the software comes free. I also encourage you to look around for items you may already own.
Hardware item #1: Raspberry Pi
- Get a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or later; the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 models have the best processing power and cost about the same as older versions
- I suggest 8 GB RAM, but 4 GB seems to work well
- Click Buy Now on the Raspberry Pi website for the Pi version you want (Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi 4); select your desired RAM and Country; click on retailers to see stock (for instance, USA vendors include Vilros, Chicago Electronic Distributors, Central Computers, and PiShop.us – Micro Center is a reliable brick-and-mortar store if you have one nearby)
