# Tutorial: Deploy WordPress to an Amazon EC2 instance (Amazon Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Linux, macOS, or Unix)
<a name="tutorials-wordpress"></a>

In this tutorial, you deploy WordPress, an open source blogging tool and content management system based on PHP and MySQL, to a single Amazon EC2 instance running Amazon Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

Not what you're looking for?
+ To practice deploying to an Amazon EC2 instance running Windows Server instead, see [Tutorial: Deploy a "hello, world\!" application with CodeDeploy (Windows Server)](tutorials-windows.md).
+ To practice deploying to an on-premises instance instead of an Amazon EC2 instance, see [Tutorial: Deploy an application to an on-premises instance with CodeDeploy (Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux)](tutorials-on-premises-instance.md).

This tutorial's steps are presented from the perspective of a local development machine running Linux, macOS, or Unix. Although you can complete most of these steps on a local machine running Windows, you must adapt the steps that cover commands such as **chmod** and **wget**, applications such as sed, and directory paths such as `/tmp`.

Before you start this tutorial, you must complete the prerequisites in [Getting started with CodeDeploy](getting-started-codedeploy.md). These include configuring a user, installing or upgrading the AWS CLI, and creating an IAM instance profile and a service role.
