oh is modx an online application that we can use in our host instead of working in our pc and then uploading our files? i wonder!

MODx is like Wordpress or any other PHP application, and you use it to build websites and create web applications. You can build the whole thing on your computer and then upload it via FTP or similar to the web. First, like goldsky said, you need to install a webserver on your computer to allow you to work with PHP. Some good ones are Wampserver or XAMPP, MAMP if you’re on a mac, etc. Then you download the MODx zip, and place the unzipped files in your www folder inside wamp, or your htdocs folder inside XAMPP. From there you can run the install and build your website or app, then FTP it to your online host.
You can find more instructions on all of this all over the web, including videos that walk you through the process. I’ve recorded some screencasts for beginners on how to set up and use Wampserver, and how to install MODx. You can find them at

Hope this helps.
