• Installing XAMPP before Moodle installation separately?

  I have followed all the steps in the Installation sheet provided by Spoken Tutorials for Windows 10 Moodle installation. The XAMPP control panel tells me to run the program from the "XAMPP root directory". What does it mean? Do i have to separately install XAMPP on my Windows laptop before following the steps mentioned in the installation sheet for Windows 10? Please help. I have not been able to practise the tutorials because of this problem. Already 4 days gone hopelessly trying to install Moodle.
