How to open in local existing site created by joomla?

hello! It gave me a site created by joomla to make the change and administer, but I do not how. The problem is that all of joomla tutorials are explain how to create a site from zero: how does it work on an existing site ? thank you for your help.
I've not used joomla - but the usual routine is copy all web pages into the new document root (htdocs or wwwroot etc), copy database across (best way is to export import if possible) and edit the config file with the local addresss (http://localhost/), your new database settings (host, username, password). If you don't have a local server, and joomla is php (which I think it is) then I suggest getting something like XAMPP to let you work on and test the site locally.
