Installing Magento 2 on localhost using WAMP gives me Page Not Found for Backend, no styling for Frontend

I tried to install Magento 2 on localhost using WAMP (php5.5, APACHE2.4.9 and MySQL5.6).

I added the required extension "intl" (by removing (;) in php.ini), but for some reason it didn't work - I had to copy the dll into the Apache bin folder.

I updated xdebug and had to create in php.ini an entry for xdebug.max_nesting_level = 50000;.

After all this I went to do the second phase of installation (database creation, etc...) and at the end it was successful. But upon trying to enter the Backend admin page, I get the error Page Not Found, and the Frontend was broken (no style).

So I installed the version with sample-date and the same thing happened, the only difference was the existence of the photos. I installed using the composer, and got the same error.

I think I did something wrong with the WAMP installation, but I'm not sure.

Another issue I encountered was on the themes in the installation with setup wizard: the app / design / frontend / magento folders are empty, while the github repository has two themes - why is that?

For broken styles and JS, please run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy. You might want to provide your specific language code as input; default is en_US

Re empty theme folder, there are several methods to deploy and install, based on your needs. The github version is meant for contributing devs, and hence there are themes present in the app/design/ folder. However, if you deployed via composer, or downloaded the zip file from magento.com, the app/design folder will be empty, since the themes are loaded via composer, from the vendor/magento folder.
