The best way to resolve this is to install the correct missing extensions. The exact fix depends on our server, your host, and other system variables.

if you still get same issue then check php_intl.dll file in wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12 , if file missing download it and paste it here.
If you still get same issue then copy files from
Go to wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12 and copy all icu***.dll and paste them into apachae/bin.
After those changes restart your wamp or xmap server and again reload this page for readness check. you will get this screen and now lick on next.
Step3 . In next step provide your database details.

Step 5. Provide details for your store

Step 8. All done 🙂 Enjoy
Note : If you have css missing issue on front page and 404 error page not found issue on magento 2 admin page. then just enable rewrite url module from your apache server .
apache -> apchae modules -> click on rewrite module and enable it.
restart wmap server and check now everything is working fine. If you still get any issue comment here.

Hello mani,
As per my view
1. Best solution is install and upload magento on server.
2. Second way if you wanna install on cpanel, then plz follow those steps. You can use putty to those folders on server.
How to fix : open php.ini file and find extension=php_intl.dll and remove comma from start and save file.
if you still get same issue then check php_intl.dll file in
binphpphp5.5.12 , if file missing download it and paste it here.
If you still get same issue then copy files from
Go to binphpphp5.5.12 and copy all icu***.dll and paste them into apachae/bin.
After those changes restart your wamp or xmap server and again reload
this page for readness check. you will get this screen and now lick on
