So there is the script located on Github [https://github.com/luanjunyi/solvethestreet](https://github.com/luanjunyi/solvethestreet), but the website that runs this script is not available anymore. Is there any way to run this script locally on a computer or my website? ---

Download and open that .phtml file in browser. ![Screenshot (29)](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/0/b/0ba28f8867e5bb5547505a074323a3917310bbbf.png) ---

I tried it before but it shows script instead. ![Untitled](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/1/3/13f8dfa406cc810d18d093095c9921b4831922d2.png) ---

I installed XAMPP and run Apache. Relocated project to C:\xampp\htdocs Then I created .htaccess file with `AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .phtml` inside C:\xampp\htdocs\solvethestreet-master Also changed XAMPP settings like mentioned here [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55513381/phtml-file-unable-to-execute-php-code-on-xampp-server-localhost](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55513381/phtml-file-unable-to-execute-php-code-on-xampp-server-localhost) Cleared browser cache. It opens directory correctly. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/6/c6d98e4153580b5ac8c60afcf2646c986b995d16.png) But when I click on index.phtml file it still shows me code instead of running it. ---

do not open the index.php file from your explorer. after running the server goto **localhost** in your browser, now you should see XAMPP page, if it works then you are good to go now you can goto **localhost/solvethestreet-master** and also remove that htaccess file ---

when in XAMPP try to run index.php instead of .phtml btw It’s running fine on FireFox without XAMPP For me. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/6/1/61da8b1498e8feb9c323abaabc5fe0791eba4189.png) ---

You have the URL, you have the file reading and you have the execution. You’re just missing the step where you download the file. Easiest to use `urllib` in Python3: ```auto import urllib.request code = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bensharkey3/Guess-The-Number/master/Guess%20the%20number%20game.py' response = urllib.request.urlopen(code) data = response.read() exec(data) ``` Note that relying on the URL is a pretty fragile way to ensure you have the latest code. Much better would be to use git to pull the latest, but this should at least get you started. * * * Github is a tool for version and source control, you will need to get a copy of the code to a local environment. There is a beginner’s tutorial [here](http://readwrite.com/2013/09/30/understanding-github-a-journey-for-beginners-part-1/) Once that you have set up a github account and define your local and remote repositories, you will be able to retrieve the code with `git checkout` . Further explanation is in the tutorial
