1. Navigate to sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/.
2. Look for the folder named xampp-windows-7.4.33.
3. Select the installer ending in: -VInstaller.exe for the 32-bit version. For example:
   • X: Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, and more)
   • A: Apache (a popular web server)
   • M: MySQL (a relational database management system)
   • P: PHP (a server-side scripting language)
   • P: Perl (a programming language)
   • Why? PHP 8 and XAMPP for Linux (LAMPP) are often available in 32-bit repositories, or you can compile Apache and PHP manually from source.
   • Difficulty: This requires knowledge of the Linux command line. It is not as "click-and-run" as the Windows version of XAMPP.
