To design the interface of the Facebook video downloader application, we will use a bootstrap template. You can learn how to install WAMP server here if you don’t know about it. I have never thought of trying any other local server after the first testing WAMP server in 2013 although there are alternatives like XAMPP, AMPPS, MAMP, Laragon, and others. I use WAMP server as my local web development server. You will need to have a local development environment because we will be using PHP programming language which requires an Apache to run. I will assume that you have some knowledge about website design and development so when some parts are not explained vividly, I assume you can still follow. If you can still watch the video when you sign out of your Facebook account, then, hurray, it is likely you will be able to download that video with the application that we are going to develop in this tutorial. Private Facebook videos are the type that you cannot watch if you are not logged into your Facebook account. At least you can download the public videos available on Facebook and not the private ones.

In this tutorial, I will take you through a step by step process to develop your own Facebook video downloader web application that you can use to download unlimited videos from Facebook.
