Mautic runs on a server. Mautic itself isn’t a server. If you have a local server, learn where you can access it. For example I can access my Apache2 typing [http://localhost](http://localhost) on my browser. My server root directory is /var/www/html. Mautic is installed in /var/www/html/mautic. Then I can access Mautic on URL address [http://localhost/mautic](http://localhost/mautic). ---

Thank you @escopez, I installed xampp and moved mautic folder into the htdoc directory now I got an error page that [quote]The site is currently offline due to encountering an error. If the problem persists, please contact the system administrator.[/quote] ---

Great, that’s progress. Check Mautic logs (app/logs folder) and server error log. There will be a message which will tell you what’s wrong. ---

Hi, Can I install and run Mautic locally connected to an online landing page? Can I run email campaigns from Mautic installed locally? ---

No. Mautic has to be in a public URL so the tracking would work. ---
