i. WP Engine is a managed WordPress hosting platform, and it doesn't offer a direct download of the hosting platform itself. However, WP Engine provides a local development tool called **Local**, which you can download for free. This tool allows you to build, test, and deploy WordPress sites from your local machine with seamless integration to WP Engine's hosting environment.

Here's how you can get started with Local by WP Engine:
1. Visit the WP Engine website or the Local by WP Engine page.
2. Choose the version of Local that's compatible with your operating system (Mac, Windows, Linux).
3. Download the application and install it on your computer.
4. Once installed, you can start developing your WordPress site locally.

Local offers features like one-click WordPress installation, hassle-free local SSL support, and flexible environment options. It also provides powerful developer tools for increased productivity, such as WP-CLI, MailHog, and Xdebug.

For more information on pricing and plans for WP Engine's hosting services, you can visit their official website. They offer various plans starting as low as **$20/month**, tailored to different needs, from personal blogs to large-scale enterprise sites.

Remember, Local is a tool for development purposes and not the hosting service itself. Once you're ready to go live with your site, you can deploy it to WP Engine's managed hosting platform.
