You need to setup the url correctly in database. you can do using 2 ways

1) Change url using mysql query, so run below queries in to phpmyadmin

UPDATE TABLE wp_options SET option_value = "YOUR LOCAL SITE URL" WHERE option_name = "siteurl"

UPDATE TABLE wp_options SET option_value = "YOUR LOCAL SITE URL" WHERE option_name = "home"

2) Open the sql file in any editor and find the live site url with local url and save nad import in to database.

I believe you should install the WordPress locally; then you should import the backup created. The below are the steps followed

  1. Export Website Content with the Export Tool
  2. Create a New Local WordPress Installation
  3. Import Website Content with the Import Tool

Please have a look at the below link for more detailed information. https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/move-wordpress-xampp/
