you really need to spend a few minutes here;
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide
read the install instructions, follow them exactly. FYI the
LocalSettings.php is a file the is generated by the installation script. It
is populated by your answers to the questions during the installation. It
should be "downloaded" automatically to your download directory, wherever
you have it. You should copy it to the directory where you set up the
MediaWiki software to operate from. I'm not trying to be vague, but your
question is not specific enough for more than a general discussion. I hope
this helps.

I'm trying to set up a localhost-only wiki for development which will not
be web-facing.
I've been following here [1] and also [2], and have got as far as
'Configure MediaWiki', and navigating to
http://localhost and there I'm
stuck.
The browser shows -
╭────
│MediaWiki 1.30.0
│
│LocalSettings.php not found.
│
│Please set up the wiki first.
╰────
But every time that I click on 'set up the wiki' it takes me to '
http://localhost/mw-config/index.php' and an "Error code 500".
This is where I've installed mediawiki - /var/www/html/mediawiki
Please someone, tell me where I'm going wrong and get me back working
properly again.
Thanks
Sharon.
