Hi @Dino!! Sorry for delay to answer you!!!
It is not impossible to a non-tech person to install Consul, but it could be a hard task to do.
If you want to install it in your pc, the first thing is to setup the environment. For Mac and Linux is easier, with Windows I’ve tried once to help a person and we didn’t succeed. And the Docker is the responsible to create this env. for the application. You can follow these steps:
https://consul_docs.gitbooks.io/docs/content/en/getting_started/docker.html
That in summary is: install Docker and Docker-compose, then install Consul using Docker.
About running Consul + Wordpress. I’m not sure if is possible to easily integrate them. Mainly because Consul is a software using Ruby On Rails as a programming language + PostgreSQL database. And Wordpress uses PHP as programming language + Mysql database, which requires a completely different environment to running it.
So the way for integrate it is using APIs, but also requires that Consul had some “module” or “plugin” to show blog posts, and that module could consume some API (Wordpress has an API), and that today doesn’t exists on Consul - sadly. But is possible to find or hire a programmer to develop it because it is Open Source!!
I hope to have helped you, even late! haha
a big hug to you dear!
