I have installed wordpress in localhost and now trying to install a jQuery-slider-plugin to it. But when I try to install the plugin, it prompts me to enter the ftp details. Is there any solution to install the wordpress plugins without providing the ftp details? Thanks in advance...

Add the following code to wp-config

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

Wordpress only asks for FTP details if it cannot modify files on disk. In order to prevent this question one can change the privileges of the files. You can chown the files to the user the website is running as.

An alternative method is to define your FTP details in the wordpress configuration; see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-install-asks-for-ftp-details#post-2455471 for more information.

    @Lex I do not know whether it is *correct*, but if it is, it is a perfectly good and useful answer. –  May 20 '14 at 12:18

You can install it by , uploading the plugin and do the settings in the Database , in other way you can install the Wordpress in your local machine and install every thing then upload it ,
